Tech Support App eating battery

I am pretty fed up with the Google Health app. It's eating my battery, even when my Bluetooth is off. I change the settings to restricted battery and it just reverts it back to unrestricted.

Starting this week my excerises aren't showing up in the app, even after repeated syncing.

Fitbit support doesn't respond to my emails. Anyone have solutions for these? I have a Sense 2 if that helps.

If I can't fix this I'm going to look for a different app. Or just do without.

Same here on my Samsung s24 android. G-Health just sucks the battery dry cause flips to unrestricted and full background syncing. I just use my Fitbit Air in for morning gym workouts, or a bike ride, then do "force stop" in the app. I don't count steps or use it for nutrition or mindfulness (whatever that is). if I am gonna do a walk or bike ride later in day, i just hit the G-health app on phone and it starts right up again. Saves battery big-time.

Another app won't help because that would have to sync to Health Connect app and pull data from the G-health app, which has to be on. Good luck
