There are some timeouts, the FBC engine will recompress about once
every 15s; the self-refresh timers are much smaller though so it should
be active anytime the CPU enters a deep sleep state. The clock
frequency changes in millisecond time too, you can check the status of
that in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_drpc_status and i915_cur_delayinfo.
I wonder if re-enabling rc6 may have caused your issues? That would be:
