Also a notification that pops up like 5 minutes before the deadline --
notification with highest priority, for important attention. From my
usage, this is what I miss. Currently I have to take care at the
battery color, and when it gets orange it means, work faster! and go go
go, plug it in. Kidding.

Suspend+hibernate makes a better option.
