Try removing all the Delay blocks.
Also, the flow will only run once, since it's not looping.

Where, at which block, does the flow "stop working"?

As the documentation say, any Delay, Time await/window block can be up to 15 minutes inaccurate.

Go to battery settings, press the three dots, click "Optimize Battery Usage", find Automate, and turn off optimization. This will turn off doze mode and make all of your flows more accurate.

I am sad that it does not work :(

I tried several solutions for my samsung s7 :

- I bought premium version
- I 've juste tested the last beta version as you said
- I removed my lock code to see if the lock did not come from there
- I unchecked the option "Lock network and security"
- I installed "smart lock" with the GPS position of my home

and still the same problem: I have to press the home key of my phone so that AUTOMATE finishes running correctly :(

thank you very much for your feedback if someone can help me find the solution

As said, if Automate stops working when you turn the screen off or lock the device, it's likely because of some kind of custom "power save" feature the device manufacturer has implemented.
What device do you use?

If custom manufacturer "power save" feature insists on terminating apps, there's not much Automate can do about it, you have to disable the feature.
If the issue is with timing accuracy, try the new "Timing accuracy workaround" option in settings.

If you have the "Hide 'running' notification" option in Automate settings enabled, try disabling it.

unfortunately and to my great despair, I have not managed to solve this problem and therefore I remain very disappointed with this application because it cost me:

- 1 ROOT
- 1 total loss of my data (due to a bug during the ROOT)
- 1 purchase of this application

* not happy * not happy * not happy :(

There's not much we app developers can do if the OS/system refuse to keep the app running.
Automate does all it can for the OS/system to keep it running, and in standard/unmodified Android to should be kept running, but some manufacturer custom Android may not be following the standard.

Thank you so much for your answer. 
I understood well.
Just  question: Is there a list of compatibility smartphone? Can I assume that it works with all android stock?

Thanks in advance.

Samsung have had many non-standard "power save" features throughout the years.

Standard Android 6+ only has App Standby ("Battery optimization") which Automate shouldn't be affect by since it's using a "foreground" service,
and the "Battery saver" which only affect certain features and most have disabled anyway.

Sadly i dont know what's causing it, since it's not part of standard Android.
Look in system settings and disable any and all "power save" features, uninstall Greenify or any other "power saving" apps.

For standard Android:
