  - `usbhid-ups` driver updates:
     * When reconnecting, report success more visibly (not only in debug), and
       do not reset driver state to "quiet" when it will loop trying. [PR #3423]
+    * `apc-hid` subdriver: mapped `shutdown.return` to
+      `UPS.APCGeneralCollection.APCDelayBeforeReboot` with value "1", for
+      newer APC Back-UPS devices (e.g. Back-UPS BX750MI) where that usage
+      is the only shutdown-capable one. Their firmware accepts but never
+      executes the value "10" written by the previously only matching
+      command `shutdown.reboot`, so the built-in shutdown sequence reported
+      success without ever powering the load off. The value "1" is what APC
+      PowerChute writes (confirmed by decoding USB captures of the vendor
+      software, and by live tests on another unit): the load is cycled after
+      a fixed ~2 minute grace, the command is executed only while on battery,
+      and output returns when wall power is present, even if AC came back
+      during the grace period. [issue #2683, PR #3566]
     * `idowell-hid` subdriver now also supports GoldenMate 1000VA/800W LiFePO4
       battery packs (`0x06da:0xffff`), which carry the same `-BMS-` firmware and
       HID descriptor as the existing `0x075d:0x0300` device. The shared
