@reverendhomer There is a note in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management#Suspend.2Fresume_service_files

As screen lockers may return before the screen is "locked", the screen may flash on resuming from suspend. Adding a small delay via ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/sleep 1 helps prevent this.

%I would work if the service file name ended with @.service instead of .service. Then, you can enable it for a user: systemctl enable myservice@username.service.
