I am having the same issue, AP-535s working ONLY in Staging Mode (where radios are disabled). I have tried enabling IPM but no luck.
IPM settings
ipm
enable
ipm-power-reduction-step-prio ipm-step disable_pse1 priority 1
ipm-power-reduction-step-prio ipm-step disable_pse2 priority 2
ipm-power-reduction-step-prio ipm-step disable_usb priority 3
ipm-power-reduction-step-prio ipm-step disable_alt_eth priority 4
And below are the AP stats
# sh ap power-mgmt-statistics

I have no POE restrictions on the switch side but the AP shows POE-AF.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

We have 2930F models JL255A and JL256A and 2930M model JL322A, so they should give out full 802.3at power. We haven't touched IPM settings and don't use the USB ports, but we are providing power to both ethernet ports.
Perhaps we should configure IPM, or the LLDP allocation isn't negotiating correctly. I found a reddit post about the same problem that hinted that removing the device profile from the switch might help.

What is your exact switch model?
Please see the 535 Datasheet entry below:

We have a few 535s connected with dual ethernet to 2930F/M switches. Some of the APs are in power-save mode and only drawing 11-12 Watts either through a single cable or 6-7 Watts through two cables each.
The configs are close to defaults but I tried to set PoE to high priority and allocate by class for the ports, but it didn't really change anything.
How to get these running at full 802.3at power? Turn off LLDP PoE allocation?
