I took some time to test this, here are the results:

1. I changed 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
use-time-for-policy true' to false. As expected, at 3% I got a warning
message, that battery level was critical – and since I knew that my
battery would drain while upower would report 3% hibernation was never
executed. The battery just drained.

2. I assumed I would have to change the values of 'percentage-critical'
and 'percentage-action' – I chose 3 and 4 percent. Unexpectedly, this
didn't help at all, nothing really changed.

3. So I set 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
use-time-for-policy' to 'true' again and changed the values of 'time
critical' and 'time-action' to 720 and 600 seconds. But this didn't help
either, again nothing really changed.

Apart from that I observed the 'time to empty' value in the output of
'upower --dump' and realized that this value would never be less then 9
minutes. After it reaches 10 minutes it jumps up and down a bit for the
next minutes – until the battery drains.

To me it looks like there are two separate issues: 1. g-s-d doesn't do
what it should (my settings seem to be ignored) and 2. obviously the
values reported by upower aren't correct.
