Perhaps the issue will not be solved, but I got during examination something like a "spring clean" of my system (Bios update, DKMS driver for r8152 installed, replaced thunderbird snap by apt).
Ubuntu MATE comes with a pre-installed tlp package for laptop battery power management./etc/tlp.conf config file and follow the troubleshooting guide:

Common information did not help ! Only the SW developer who did, turn Off USB, can help !
No, this is not just 'common information'. This is a detailed instruction, nicely written. Your hardware may not work properly with the default tlp settings. You can edit your /etc/tlp.conf config file and change some settings.

information did not help
Have you tried anything? Settings like USB_AUTOSUSPEND look promising. Without actions on your part, nothing will happen, because you are the one with the hardware.

All USB ports will be switched of.

During unplugged power cable :
To mount an USB-Stick is not possible
The script does not help, see below, all USB-Ports still off.
Power cable plugged :
All USB ports still off.
The script helps to get the USB-Ports :
`#!/bin/sh
for port in $(lspci | grep USB | cut -d' ' -f1); do
echo -n "0000:${port}"| sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/unbind;
sleep 5;
echo -n "0000:${port}" | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/bind;
sleep 5;
done

My system Ubuntu-Mate 24.04.02
What I expect :
Power cable unplugged, All USB ports are available, To mount an USB-stick is possible.
No Host System Error anymore after unplugged
Steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior:
1. Does the problem occur on battery or AC or both?
Both if power cable unplugged, see description above
3. Actions to reproduce the behaviour
power cable unplugged, plugged again, no USB ports available
5. Shell commands entered and their output *including error message(s)*
See above var log
7. **Full output of `tlp-stat` via https://gist.github.com/ for *all* matching cases of 1** (not as file attachment, no screenshots)**Additional context**
see above
Add any other context about the problem here.
Removed all USB devices (e.g.: external HDD (own power supply), ...), no USB-ports available anymore.
Battery status = 60%
If there is any description missing, please tell me what output do you want to see.
