"systemctl suspend" operation inhibited by "gnome-session-b"

Debian
1

Hello Friends

In a LAN for a laptop with Debian 13 normally I execute the following command:

  • sleep 10 && systemctl suspend

And it works fine

Since March to now the following scenario happened (therefore it is the 2nd time)

$ sleep 10 && systemctl suspend
Operation inhibited by "manueljordan" (PID 1728 "gnome-session-b", user manueljordan), reason is "user session inhibited".
Please retry operation after closing inhibitors and logging out other users.
'systemd-inhibit' can be used to list active inhibitors.
Alternatively, ignore inhibitors and users with 'systemctl suspend -i'.

Therefore the OS does not suspend

Questions

  1. Why happens this? (It about "gnome-session-b")
  2. Is possible replicate it just for experimental purposes?
  3. What is the best approach to fix it?

For question 3 I know the output offers 2 options but I want avoid any kind of complications

Thanks in advance
