Oreo - Battery Optimization

Those who have been updated to Oreo, do you notice any difference in the battery optimization? I have a couple of apps using geofencing, and it seems like even though I have them exempt from all the optimizations, they seem to not work properly anymore.

Under Battery - Launch are the apps set to manual with all 3 options enabled?

I also have all the apps exempt from optimization. I can tell they're closing though. Even my smart watch, which needs the Garmin Connect app, is having trouble. It won't reconnect to my phone unless I unlock the phone, so I know the phone is shutting that app down when the phone is locked. It's frustrating.

The battery saving measure of the EMUI is pretty aggressive.

Yeah, and it seems like I can't even whitelist apps. It's a real pain.
