* Does Emacs have a power-saving mode?

The past few weeks I've been noticing that, on my laptop, if Emacs isn't
displayed on the screen (complete hidden by other windows, for instance,
or iconified), then after a while my erc connection times out, and my
Emacs-based music player stops playing.
If I reveal the Emacs window, the music starts up again and erc
auto-reconnects.
So it kinda seems like... sentinels and process filters stop firing or
something?
Does this sound familiar to anybody? And if so, how do I stop Emacs
from behaving like this?

It would be suprizing for me that the beast is fasting.
Seriously, it's probably related to the operating system. I might be
wrong.
If you could provide us your OS and how Emacs was compiled, it would
be very helpful to investigate further.

I didn't report this as a bug, because I was asking whether anybody
knows whether Emacs has such functionality or not. I know that Emacs
tries to keep the number of timers firing down (by stopping blinking
cursors and the like), so I wondered whether anybody had taken that one
step further and stopped process filters altogether.
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with Gnome Shell, and it's Emacs 27.
