I investigated why it takes 5 sec to go to suspend even if the last instance is closed
The reason is if autosuspend is used, timeout should happen to go to suspend even though the power.usage count is 0 after an instance is closed.


So I made the below modification, when the last instance is closed, autosuspend turns off,  and when the first instance is opened, the autosuspend turns on, again.
When I tested with the change, it works well.

Can you review the below code?
