swayidle randomly activating

[UltraBlackLinux]

I don't know what it is, but for some reason swayidle randomly sees activity, somewhere.
I have checked the debug mode, but it doesn't really help because it doesn't show activity sources. All I am seeing is that there's little to a lot of random activity from time to time, almost every 30 seconds.

I think it might be happening because of battery charging, but I'm not sure. Another idea would be gnome-calls. Whenever I run (even after stopping) the daemon, I get this behavior.

I'm running swayidle 1.8.0

Any idea what's happening?
Thanks!

I can confirm this is happening to me as well on 2 different laptops. Swayidle is started like this: swayidle -w before-sleep cthulock. My OS is NixOS but it is happening on the other Laptop with Void Linux too.

I also get this a lot, often while running sudo. I also use NixOS. Here's my configuration in Sway:

 exec swayidle -w \
          timeout 300 'swaylock -i /etc/nixos/dotfiles/sway/wallpaper.png --clock --indicator --indicator-radius 200 --indicator-thickness 14 --effect-blur 7x5 --effect-vignette 0.5:0.5 --ring-color 98971A --key-hl-color 689D6A --line-color 00000000 --inside-color 282828 --separator-color 282828 --grace 2 --fade-in 0.2 -F -l --text-color E7D7AD' \
          timeout 600 'swaymsg "output * power off"' resume 'swaymsg "output * power on"' \
          before-sleep 'swaylock -i /etc/nixos/dotfiles/sway/wallpaper.png --clock --indicator --indicator-radius 200 --indicator-thickness 14 --effect-blur 7x5 --effect-vignette 0.5:0.5 --ring-color 98971A --key-hl-color 689D6A --line-color 00000000 --inside-color 282828 --separator-color 282828 --grace 2 --fade-in 0.2 -F -l --text-color E7D7AD' \

swayidle -w requires swaylock -f to function correctly, even when using swaylock-effects.

I didn't even realize that was a problem, thanks for pointing that out.
