Disabling the automatic sleep causes data loss

Description

I have let my laptop run on battery. Sometime the battery runs out, and to protect the system from losing data, it automatically suspends when the battery is low.

Or rather: It is supposed to do that.

These days I instead get an annoying dialog box:

"""Are you sure you want to hibernate the system? An application is currently disabling the automatic sleep. Doing this action now may damage the working state of this application."""

I cannot disable this dialog box for good saying: "I do not care that the Youtube video currently playing is disabling automatic sleep: I want you to suspend when you are low on battery, because if you do not, I will lose serious work."

I have now lost serious work due to this several times.

Please make it possible to protect my work when battery is running out - no matter what program might be running.

And personally I would prefer it disabled completely: When I ask the system to suspend I have yet to find any program where the state is seriously affected.
