Windows Central Question

I have an Acer Aspire E 15 and since I had the battery drains about 2% to 8% during the night.
Recently I tried to charge a powerbank through one of my USB 2.0 ports, and the power cord may have have been faulty, because when I noticed the pc near the USB port was super hot. I turned off my pc and to help it cool I pointed a fan at it. Since then I notice the battery drains a lot faster when it is turned off. A full day without coming to it drained about 50%.
My laptop is always connected to a power outlet and I only let the battery drain from time to time to let it cycle.
Also, ever since I did this the USB seems to be non responding.
Is there a way to disable the USB port to stop it from draining my battery?
I already disabled fastboot (some people said it could be that) and the "keep charging when the pc is turned off" functionality.
My battery report seems fine, but I do have a question: is "suspended" the state of a turned off pc? Or should it show as "turned off"?

Thank you for the help!

Hi, so I think suspended means hibernating and turned off means actually powered down. Do you have wake on lan enabled?
