That's actually encouraging. Since it takes more than a minute to transition to a lower power state your processor was probably running in the highest power state (albeit, otherwise idle) the entire time.
active > screen saver > waiting for suspend > suspend
As solutions exist to define wake from suspend events, forcing the processor to suspend or at least screensaver mode would considerably reduce power consumption. Also your apparent approach of only connecting to wifi once a day or perhaps a few times should suffice to keep your PW4 clock time accurate. It shouldn't be necessary to connect hourly as implied in an earlier post.
