 # lenovo-throttling-fix
 Workaround for Linux throttling issues on Lenovo T480 / T480s / X1C6 notebooks as described [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/870u0a/t480s_linux_throttling_bug/).
 
-This script forces the CPU package power limit (PL1/2) to **45 W** and the temperature trip point to **97 C** by overriding default values in MSR and MCHBAR every 15 seconds to block the Embedded Controller from resetting these values to default.
+This script forces the CPU package power limit (PL1/2) to **44 W** (29 W on battery) and the temperature trip point to **97 'C** (85 'C on battery) by overriding default values in MSR and MCHBAR every 5 seconds (30 on battery) to block the Embedded Controller from resetting these values to default.
 
 ## Requirements
 The python module `python-periphery` is used for accessing the MCHBAR register by memory mapped I/O.

+## Configuration
+The script can be configured by editing `lenovo_fix.py` directly. There exist two profiles `AC` and `BATTERY`:
+```
+config = {
+    'AC': {
+        'UPDATE_RATE_SEC': 5,  # Update the registers every this many seconds
+        'PL1_TDP_W': 44,  # Max package power for time window #1

 ## Disclaimer
 This script overrides the default values set by Lenovo. I'm using it without any problem, but it is still experimental so use it at your own risk.
