Gizo,
I had that issue and opened a ticket. It is not considered a bug but a
feature request. They have no plans to address it at this time.
9734 – Jobs sent to higher weight idle node instead of starting lower
weight node (schedmd.com) <https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9734>
You may be able to use the alternate approach that I was able to do as well.

Hello,
it seems that if a slurm power saving is enabled then the parameter
"Weight" seem to be ignored for nodes that are in a power down state.
Is there any way to make the option working for a cluster running slurm
in a powe saveing mode?.
I am aware of the note to the weight option in the man of slurm.conf.
However, nodes that are in a power down state usually have an "IDLE"
marker in the state string in addition to the "POWERED_DOWN".
We run slurm 22.05.3.
Thank you,
Gizo
