Issue with Service Worker Lifetime in MV3 Extension

[Vaishnavi Gosavi]

We are facing problems with the service worker lifecycle in our MV3 extension: The service worker is being terminated after a short idle time, even though we need it to remain active. We reviewed Chrome’s documentation on keeping a service worker alive continuously (using a heartbeat that updates extension storage every 20 seconds), but it appears this approach is only allowed for enterprise or education use cases.

We can only help if you describe why this is necessary in more detail.
