Describe the bug

On battery stats, the PipePipe is always on top three battery draining apps (and I use some very battery consuming apps, like Dicio always listening to a Wakeword). Also, it reports extreme background usage that does not comply with my background playback. For example, my last report shows: Time from last charge 48 hours. Active use time 18 hours. PipePipe is second app using 25% (first is Dicio, also with 25% and 17 hours on background) PipePipe's usage time 3 hours, background time 7 hours.

Frequency

Always (100% of the time)

Device

Pixel 6 pro, Android 16, GrapheneOS

Steps to reproduce the bug

1.Install PipePipe
2.Check battery stats 😛

Additional context

The battery settings for PipePipe is set at "optimized". Also, I have disabled the system setting about pinning the player to the notification field for easy returning to the playback. In general, when I close the PipePipe app, there is no widget/notification player visible ready to hit play and resume. I use kvaesitso launcher for all it matters (it has a widget that activates a player under the clock when playback is on, but goes away when it is stops).

I use a Pixel 6 pro with GrapheneOS and no Google Services. I am having this problem for 2 years now I think, since I got the device.
