battery drain when activity is stopped and set to "resume later"

Hi,
as the subject suggest I have battery drain when activity is stopped and set to "resume later". Seems like GPS position and every sensors is not stopped and continue to drain battery as the activity is running.
This happenend on a bike activity.

And your question is.....?

I have one : How much does it 'drain'? It might be inevitable to keep sensors active on background because you want to pick up the activity later. I do not know if Garmin means resuming within a limited (short) time (like eating/drinking/talking to someone or having a lunch), of if they mean you can postpone for longer periods. The latter it is of course a problem for your battery.

If I stop moving garmin already pause the activity for a quick stop.
I expect that if I stop the activity telling "I will resume it later" every sensor will be turned off and so is the battery drain, or why I need to manually stop and resume the activity if the smartwatch altready pause it when I'm not moveing?
I wanna use this feature for a very long pause but without create two or more activities. Like (stupid example) if I go to the supermarket with my bike or anything else.

IIRC "Resume Later" doesn't put the watch truly back into smartwatch mode, so none of the normal stats that would be collected (eg. stress) are stored.

It used to crash CIQ fields, too.
