 What are your numbers on baterry usage with all that?

▲ ▼

 At first I was impressed that my battery usage is less than 1% but now I realize that Pokey has been stopping and not showing me notifications all day long, even though it is running.

 I noticed that in Graphene, if you switch users sometimed it does not connect again to the relays when you are back. Is it possible that was your case? Maybe same situation will happen if the phone was turned off.

 Anyways, I got reports from users and it seems to still use <1% when it actually works

 I'm not using Graphene. I force closed and restarted the app. It seems to be working now. I'll see if it continues working the rest of the day. I wonder if Adaptive Battery killed the process?

 It shouldn't. Next time chekc your relays tab. If there is nothing or just a few, try just the Stop and Start button. It should do the trick

 Turning on/off a VPN also causes this issue

▲ ▼

 Oh. This could be my issue then.

 I can validate that. I use Graphene, and Pokey worked the first time. I switched profiles and I've not been able to get it to work since, even though it says it's running. I've even uninstalled/reinstalled everything (Pokey, Zapstore, Amethyst), it seems I completely broke it. 😑

 Check your relay list next time. It should get fixed if you just stop and start the service. The bad news is that notifications before restart won't appear again.

 Did you disable battery optimizations for Pokey? It should be set to "Unrestricted" to keep it from being closed or deactivated by Android's regular device optimizations.

 My Pokey is pulling less than 0.1% of battery usage. I comparison, Amethyst is pulling 1.4%. So Pokey's battery useage has been very good for me. I suspect its battery useage is dependant on how many notifications a user receives over time, but generally speaking it appears to be very efficient.
