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?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

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.
