    Return to Cueboard after switching apps

    Cueboard requests the lock again after visibility changes and Home Screen app restores. If it does not, tap Keep awake.

    Check Low Power Mode

    iPadOS and other systems may deny or release wake locks under power restrictions. Disable Low Power Mode or extend Auto-Lock when continuous operation matters.
