Hi Roberto

Strictly, this is off topic here. ChromeOS Flex is ChromeOS for 
non-Chromebooks. It's a Google product - maybe ask them.

A quick search for the ThinkPad Edge from Lenovo: the review I found was
from about 2019. It's the cheapest end of the Lenovo range. I see a range
of them available second hand online from about £99 - at this point, it
is not an expensive laptop..

If it's about five years old - it might be that the original battery has
reached the end of its life expectancy. If this is a second hand laptop, then
you don't know its previous history: if you've had it from new, it might
be time to replace the battery.

Since this is ChromeOS, this list can't really help. Install Debian and
we could perhaps advise.

Anything in logs? How are you monitoring this? It does suggest either a
dying battery or a laptop with a marginal power regulator giving low voltage.
