App timers running in background undetected

[Aj1710]

I am using an app timer in my S24 ultra for youtube for 3 hours. Today I haven't seen anything. I just left it in the background, and at the top I checked it showed no active background. But when I woke up in the morning, my app is closed saying that I have exceeded my time limit.Does it usually run in the background or anything. Any suggestions???

Some apps will run in the background

But if it runs in the background, when we open the recent apps, it will show that 1 activity in background. If nothing is running, it doesn't show anything.

True will depend on app some like games or social media for example will run to check for updates etc... others will not as much
