1. A method, comprising:
detecting, based on at least one metric, that an information handling device is experiencing a restricted airflow condition during transport of the information handling device;
decreasing, responsive to the detecting, a system power setting of the information handling device during a duration of the restricted airflow condition, wherein the decreasing the system power setting comprises dynamically decreasing the system power setting by disabling at least one function of the device that would not be leveraged during the transport of the information handling device; and
restoring, subsequent to detecting that the information handling device is no longer experiencing the restricted airflow condition; the system power setting.
