gnome-power-statistics launches a graphical interface to visualize power consumption data logged by GNOME's power management system. It displays interactive charts for metrics like battery charge/discharge rates, power usage (in watts), CPU load, disk I/O, network traffic, and composite scores over time periods such as the last hour, 6 hours, day, week, or custom ranges.

Users can zoom, pan, toggle series visibility, and correlate events like high CPU with power spikes to diagnose battery drain issues. Data is sourced from upower or gnome-power-daemon logs, stored locally in ~/.local/share/power-statistics.

Ideal for laptop optimization, it helps identify inefficient apps or hardware behaviors. Requires a graphical session (X11/Wayland) and running power daemon. Not suited for headless servers.

Deprecated in modern GNOME (>3.32); data may be unavailable without legacy gnome-power-manager. Graphical only; no CLI output.

Logs in ~/.local/share/power-statistics; hourly tarballs with CSV data.

Developed by Richard Hughes for gnome-power-manager (2007); integrated upower support later. Largely replaced by GNOME Settings power profiler.
