I'm on Arch and noticed the change, probably due to the GNOME 3.30 update. I was a bit amazed that hibernate worked as I had configured a resume= partition on my kernel command line years ago when setting up my system but had never tested it. My only worry is about kernel updates preventing resume due to runtime vs /boot version mismatch.

But due to the longer resume time I almost immediately changed sleep.conf so that HibernateMode=suspend-to-both. My laptop drains power very slowly with suspend-to-mem such that in two years I've yet to run out of battery while suspended. So I might even disable hibernate completely. But it is a bit of a shame that I'd have to disable hibernate for the entire system via systemd just because of GNOME's behavior.

I'd probably be more likely to use it if it was based on battery level instead of time. But I believe that's generally infeasible.
