I have an APC SC620I, which in case of power failure, it successfully

Regardless if the mains power returns soon after the UPS has initiated a
shutdown to the PC, shouldn't the UPS recycle the power anyway, so that
the PC comes back on as set in BIOS?
Am I missing something in the configuration or the daemons that should
be running?

I'm afraid I don't have an APC UPS to know its quirks, but in my case I have
these running:
upsd
upsdrv
upslog
upsmon
the above are not part of apcupsd, are they?
Is it that the UPS does not recycle the power,
The UPS does NOT recycle the power.
or is it that the PC does not
reboot after power is restored? Does the PC reboot if you pull and reinsert
its mains plug?
The PC's BIOS is correctly configured and tested to start up as soon as
power is restored to it.
WARNING: don't just pull the plug in a fully working system to avoid fs
corruption - Press something r e i s u in sequence while holding
Ctrl+Alt+SysRq and then pull the plug. If the PC's BIOS is configured
correctly it should reboot as soon as you reconnect the mains supply to it.
I am aware of it.
Have a look here if you haven't seen this section already:

Looks like the UPS does not cut (kill) the power, but I am not sure how
to debug it.
