Time limit already exhausted for foreground service type dataSync

[williamtwomey]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Element app after several hours of it being in the background (6+?)
2. App crashes with 'Time limit already exhausted for foreground service type dataSync'

Error in Element e01fa6e4c7e7.txt

Worth calling out that app has full permissions and is set to 'Unrestricted' battery usage. This only started happening within the last few days which makes me suspect 1.6.44 might have introduced this.

Outcome

What did you expect?

Elements to run in the background listening for notifications indefinitely

What happened instead?

After a few hours no longer get notifications for new messages, opening app shows a crash report (see attached)

Same version, running on LineageOS Android 15, crashes regularly for me too, with the same error

Rolling back to 1.6.42 appears to have fixed it
