"Lighroom Sync" / "Prevent system sleep during sync" not working

Question

The checkbox "Prevent system sleep during sync" under the Settings tab "Lightroom Sync" is checked.

I let Lightroom Classic run and left the Mac unattended while being plugged and charging.

Upon returning after 10 minutes, the Mac was fully asleep and Lightroom had not synched to the Cloud in the meantime.

Thank you

- macOS Monterey 12.5 (latest)

- Lightroom Classic 11.4.1 (latest)

Your screen shot shows that 'Put hard disks to sleep when possible' is checked... Maybe that is overriding the Lightroom setting? The OS sometimes will override some keyboard shortcuts in other apps, this happens in Photoshop for example.
