Assuming it is the latter, keep in mind that  IdleAction=ignore is the 
default, so you don't need to explicitly configure it.

I suspect that your system suspend wasn't actually trigged by logind's 
idle action.

But you can find out easily.

Run (as root) journalctl -u systemd-logind and check the time window 
when your system went into suspend. If it was triggered by logind, then 
you should have a message like:


Dez 07 11:49:33 pluto systemd-logind[3087]: System idle. Doing suspend 
operation.
Dez 07 11:49:33 pluto systemd-logind[3087]: Suspending...
