Suspend is a state which the host may require at any time. A device is required to respond appropriately, and reduce its current draw to 2.5mA. This applies equally to any device regardless of class. There is nothing that a device, on its own, can do to avoid this. Some operating systems may have settings to make suspend less likely.

what about keep-alive message?

[Pat Crowe]

I could say 'what about it?'. 

Keep Alive is the low speed equivalent of the Start of Frame packet. Both KeepAlive and SOF are used by the host to (among other things) tell the device not to suspend at the moment.

The point is that it is the host that decides - not the device.
