apcupsd.service depends on network-online.target for some reason.
If network interface is configured to use DHCP and network is unavailable (e.g. remote equipment is powered off) apcupsd.service won't start and apcupsd will not shutdown/hibernate system on timeout or battery level threshold.

apcupsd 3.14.14-7

`Wants=network-online.target' was added because of  FS#73607  to support snmp. Not sure if both scenarios can be supported. I'd just work around the issue and not use DHCP.

I worked around it by overriding apcupsd.service in /etc/systemd/ with dependency removed. But default service configuration may cause locally connected UPS to fail it's main job: shutdown the system properly on power failure. Also it may cause deep battery discharge.
Actually "sendto: Network is unreachable" is not a failure. Host with SNMP server may be unreachable for many reasons.

Maybe separate service units for local and network configurations as a compromise?
