Description

Automatic sleep can be temporarily prevented while long-running tasks continue.

It is useful during downloads, presentations, builds, backups, or monitoring sessions where suspension would interrupt work. Preventing sleep uses power and can keep a device unlocked longer, so disable it when the task ends.
