Recently (today or yesterday) my xps 13 started hibernating when the screen turns off. According to all available settings, it definitely shouldn't. What's going on here?
Thanks Jesse, unfortunately this wasn't the issue. All settings were as they should but still the machine hibernated when the screen turned off after 5 minutes (see first screenshot). But resetting the settings to default and cold booting the computer restored it, so now everything works as expected again.
I've been having this issue too. I set the machine to not turn off the monitor or sleep, but it does anyway, regardless of plugged in or on battery. And sometimes, it crashes and closes all my work.

I forgot to mention, this happens both when plugged in and on battery.
