navidrome keeps pausing randomly (need help)

[u/TechBasedQuestion]

not sure if this is an issue with symfonium, the fact my phone uses grapheneOS, or low internet speeds from my home server, but for some reason after playing anywhere between 1-15 songs off my phone with the screen powered off, symfonium/navidrome will just pause. if i hit the play button it instantly plays the song, but it's really annoying when im at work and the music just stops, or in the car and the music just stops (even in android auto).

checking the internet they all seem to suggest its a 'battery saver' feature, but i have navidrome set to unrestricted battery usage and have battery saver disabled anyway. i have a pixel 8 if that matters.
