20 Ft Power Strip Surge Protector (3,400 Joules), DEPOW 24 AC Multiple Outlets (1875W/15A) with 6 USBs (2 USB-C Ports), ETL Listed, Flat Plug Heavy Duty Long Extension Cord for Home, Office, Black

I can confirm that it is an AFCI breaker so you’re probably right with your analysis. My current plan, while I wait to hear back from the landlord about the electrician’s availability, is to connect a surge protector strip in the living room (since the outlets there still work whenever the CB trips) and run it into my bedroom. I ordered this surge protector strip from Amazon. Do you think that’s a good/safe idea?
