Unable to poweroff PC with OpenRC

Recently my PC with ArtixLinux Plasma 6+OpenRC stopped shutting down. Commands:
Code: [Select]
shutdown 000
openrc-shutdown -p now
poweroff
loginctl poweroff
do not lead to any result. A black screen appears with the text:
Code: [Select]
The system will power off now!
but the PC continues to operate.
The elogind service is working, OpenRC is not giving any problems. I didn't find any entries in the logs.
How can I shut down the workstation and how can I solve the problem?

I use:

Code: [Select]
sudo shutdown -h now

successfully with the same system.

After this last update on my system76 box the power button just isn't working at all.  And it has a light and I see it go on without reason or go off as the system is at rest.

it is hard for me to understand exactly what happened with your system76 box.
So, box is not a notebook.
Powerbutton is about acpi - there is a nice Arch Linux Wiki about that, I am no specialist neither.
but very siply commands to watch and detects acpi knobs and switches, and then you can assign those easily if following the Wiki.
What is the reason for buying Linux Laptops if those are so unstable?
Or did you edit acpi.conf? You optimized to the max?
Is acpid listed when promptin rc-update?
Try to boot a live usb stick and powerdown there to cross test.
Some one else should explain, I ve thought just killing the desktop and powering off is enough:
killall -9 fusion-icon && poweroff
