I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

I listen to an audiobook on my way to work for about 30 minutes(through android auto) after which I close the app. I've noticed my phone has been draining extraordinarily fast lately and upon investigating I discovered that this app is responsible for 40% of my phone's battery drain while inactive. I have background usage allowed(optimized). When I restrict the background usage the app stops the battery drain. however, whenever the screen turns off the player stops working, as expected.
