Android Automotive warns of excessive battery consumption

Installed ABRP on my Chevrolet Equinox EV with Android Automotive. I planned a long toad trip which worked flawlessly until I reached my first charging point. After I finished charging, Android Automotive warned me the app was using excessive battery and that it killed the app as a result. I was then asked to go to the settings and enable the permission to keep the app alive regardless of what the app is doing. I did grant the app that permission. Then I noticed my infotainment system started to become non-responsive as I couldn't use the buttons on the steering wheel to change tracks playing on the car. Even changing the volume was laggy.

Where does this happen?

    Thanks for reporting! Unfortunately the CPU use by ABRP is a bit high for some vehicle platforms. We are doing updates to ABRP to be able to reduce the CPU use further and will release these during the fall.
