Do you know what type of suspend your machine uses? s2idle or S3? should be able to find it in /sys/power/mem_sleep . From the CPU in your laptop I suspect it only supports s2idle.
If s2idle is your only option, check out if these instructions work:

waiting for upstream
C: power management
## Current status
Initial support of S0ix is available for testing; see https… ://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/6411#issuecomment-2089227397.

***Editor's note:** The original issue description below is somewhat out-of-date. This issue is now narrowly focused on support for the S0ix sleep state (aka "Modern Standby," "Low Power S0 Idle," "InstantGo," "Connected Standby," etc.) found in newer CPUs (especially Tiger Lake and later).*
