Ubuntu 22.04 only blanks, but does not turn off screen

Recently upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and it seems like the power-saving feature does not actually turn off the screen(s) after X minutes, but just blanks them. When I manually run xset dpms force off, they do properly turn off and go to sleep, but this and related solutions (e.g. https://askubuntu.com/a/1004163/29252) do feel rather kludgy.

Any suggestions for how to fix this "properly"?

The screens won't turn off when the Power Profile is set to "Performance". They turn off when it is "Balanced" or "Power Saver". – Sadaharu Wakisaka May 08 '23 at 00:09
A workaround that seems to work for me: after login, lock the screens once manually using Super-L. After that, powersave works as intended. – Florian Echtler Aug 18 '23 at 06:46
