Description

This is my observation.
I wrote fans controller for my laptop, so I had that issue and know what to do.
So when `auto-cpufreq` runs minimum temperature is 44C when laptop is not touched. If I stop the service, it drops down to 35C.
Which means measuring temperature raises temperature. To overcome this we need to use dynamic slices, i.e. below 45C do the measure once a minute.
My solution in my program as example:

Research direction

Start by locating auto-cpufreq's temperature-measurement path and reviewing how the service schedules readings. Compare the proposed approach with the linked MsiFanControl reads_period_detector.h example. Done means temperature checks use a longer interval below 45C while preserving responsive behavior when the laptop is hotter.
