Your IRQ ‘permission denied’ log lines could be caused by this: https://github.com/Irqbalance/irqbalance/issues/336

Is this all the logs, from very start of you hitting suspend to when the machine comes back? I ask because I expected to see more things stopping and then restarting…

The logs should indicate the device/app that prevents suspend, run ‘journalctl -r’ after it happens.There are ways to disable devices from preventing suspend but we need to know what’s causing it first.
