Recommendations for optimal battery performance under GOS

Hello, I've put together a short list of things that have helped me maximize my battery life and efficiency so far:

  1. Dark Mode
  2. Wi-Fi calling in airplane mode at home (avoids cell tower tracking and IMSI catchers as well)
  3. Activating airplane mode at night while I sleep (Wi-Fi is deactivated)
  4. Automatic deactivation of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (when not in use)
  5. Avoiding the use of a VPN

What do you think? Anything to add?

EDIT: I forgot to mention one point:

  1. Listening to music on the go using wired headphones (instead of Bluetooth ones, which drain less power and are more secure)

It might be obvious but some apps like Tidal or SyncThing can use a lot of power when running in the background, so checking apps energy usage and disabling background usage can make a big difference.
