1. A method for transitioning into a connected standby state based upon power management classifications assigned to processes, comprising: detecting an enter connected standby request associated with a computing environment; and transitioning the computing environment into a connected standby state, comprising: for respective suspendable processes assigned a suspend classification, placing a suspendable process into a non-executing suspended state; for respective throttleable processes assigned a throttling classification, assigning a throttling schedule to a throttleable process, the throttling schedule specifying at least one of an execution time period associated with an execution state or a suspended time period associated with the non-executing suspended state, the execution time period defining a duration for executing the throttleable process, the suspended time period defining a duration for suspending the throttleable process; and for respective exempt processes assigned an exempt classification, allowing an exempt process to continue executing in the execution state.
