This has not been true for me since oneui 4 and currently oneui 5. Apps can continue running however long within reason(doze). The ones that need to be running 24/7 like accubattery, tasker work fine when you set battery optimization to unrestricted. Others like adguard power through without issue. Only apps that take too many resources or frequent crashes that slow down your device get automatically closed — shown in device care. The only times my apps restart is when running heavy games and apps that take gigs in memory.
