Friends, please tell me about this.

When working on battery power, when closing the laptop lid or locking the screen, Wi-Fi turns off. Is it possible to make Wi-Fi not turn off immediately in this mode, but work for at least 10-15 minutes?

I use corporate Cisco AnyConnect and it is very inconvenient that as soon as I leave the laptop for coffee, it locks and I have to reconnect. Setting the lock time and time is not an option, because I need it to be locked, but Wi-Fi to continue working (how can this be set up when power is from the power supply).
 
If you leave an Internet radio playing and lock the screen, does it still turn off?
 
I found the Amphetamine app, which allows you to customize various settings, including disabling sleep when the selected app is active. I'll test it tomorrow, but the reviews are good.
 
Amphetamine is what I needed. I set it up so that when the Cisco AnyConnect app is enabled, the laptop does not go into hibernation. If you close the laptop lid, it still maintains the connection.
