First. Thanks to all those that replied. Seems that the fix for me 
was to connect a monitor to machine (headless server just meaning 
a regular Fedora 38 machine without a monitor connect) Then 
login in using gnome option (usually have it default to XFCE, but 
power option with XFCE doesn't show anything on this option). 
Then going to power settings and turn off the option. Then it 
doesn't seem to be shutting down the machine at all. 

Still haven't seen a reply if switching to lightdm from gdm would 
also resolve issue? So currently the machine is using gdm, but was 
set to use XFCE for both local login and VNC login. So the VNC 
user was logged in, but it would still suspend the machine?

Agree that in many cases it would be a power saving feature, but if 
the machine has any services that either make connections from 
outside http/https/smtp/pop3/vnc/mariadb then shutting machine 
down would be issue. Also, any cron or auto run process like 
dnf-cache would be effect. 

Don't know if they thought of any of those issues.
I have BOINC running on machines to do work, and a suspend 
stops them dead.. This particular machine has 8 core cpu, so it has 
8 task running when nothing else is using machine.
