I suspect this issue might have been caused by that firmware update earlier this week thay was part of a beta/preview update?

If so, then perhaps doing a branch meant for people on beta/preview might be helpful?

We have no idea how long until 3.5.x reaches stable.

Thanks for everything. PowerTools is a critical plug in and you do good work :)

Turns out this was due to the firmware changing the advertised name of the CPU. I assume Valve finally corrected it from the LCD Steam Deck's CPU name AMD Custom APU 0405 to the OLED's AMD Custom APU 0932.

I've updated the config on the limits-providing server (and restarted) so it should be picked up within a day or so for everyone. No update required. You can manually force a refresh by deleting ~/.config/powertools/limits_cache.json and restarting (it might take more than 1 restart). If you've blocked refreshes of that file (or you can't access that website), you'll have to manually sync the limits_cache.json file with the latest pt_limits.json on the dev branch.

Aside: That firmware update has the added bonus of a much easier way to differentiate the 2 models (the only other quick way in software that I know of is to check if hwmon6 exists, but that assumes you already know it's a steam deck with SteamOS otherwise it's meaningless)
