Check CPU utilization with CPU-Monitor or similar if the phone is not entering deep sleep.
----------------------------------------Or if it starts to thermal throttle, the CPU will wait until the battery cools down by doing nothing. |

I had the same issue after I set (Android Settings) Display->Sleep from "Never" to "after 5 minutes of inactivity"...
----------------------------------------My CPU Time / Elapsed Time ratio dropped from like from 15.10/15.82 to 16.87/73.13 CPU-Z reported 100% CPU utilization (8 cores) It took me 2 weeks to figure out what is going on, as i haven't immediately correlated this change of display settings with worse times.... My computation times are back to normal after I set Display->Sleep back to "Never" H99 [Edit 2 times, last edit by Hefto99 at Apr 7, 2018 11:30:26 AM] |

I'm also having similar issues. I find that I have to 'Force Stop' the BOINC app in Android settings, then restart the phone. After I do that it runs at full speed again for a few days.

My Pixel 2 XL is doing something similar. The 4 slower cores are running 100%, and the 4 faster cores are not being used. Whereas all 6 cores on my Blackberry Priv are being used at 100%.
----------------------------------------Priv is Android 6, Pixel is Android 9. Both BOINC apps are configured the same (100% etc) Priv gets warm to the touch. Pixel is cold all the time. Very strange. The Pixel doesn't seem to have the option to leave the screen on, just increments of time up to 30min. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 13, 2018 2:31:59 PM] |

I run BOINC on my Galaxy J3 6. I have the same thing happen. I use Advance Mobile care (or you can use other programs like it ) to clean it. It stops apps running in the background. It helped me. I had the same problem with Kindle Fire too. Amazon and Google likes to have some apps working in background to track you/spy for ads. every day or so it would be turned back on.
