Accessibility permission keeps turning off — can ADB make it persistent?

[Alex]

I have to repeatedly re-enable the Accessibility permission “Access screen control and observe your actions.” It stays on for a while—sometimes even after a reboot—but eventually switches off again and I must enable it manually.

Is there a way to keep this permission persistent? If using adb.exe is appropriate, could you share the exact command(s) to set it permanently?

Device details:

• Samsung Galaxy A20

• Android 11 (One UI 3.1)

I could not get the pattern - what triggers this permission to go OFF.

It's a know Android issue that Google refuse to fix.

Ensure to disable any "power save" features, see: https://llamalab.com/automate/doc/faq.html#automate_not_running

I should be possible make a flow that toggle the "Enabled accessibility service" setting to restart the Automate accessibility service.

Can you  please guide  how to make a flow that toggles the "Enabled accessibility service" ?

I think there's toggle for Accessibility from System setting block.

Same observation: A (silently) stopped flow because of turned
off accessibility permission. Reason why it turned off was found too: A
memory cleaner which also affected Automate (3C tools). As this app
allows exclusions - and I suppose many of that kind do - it was
trivial to exclude Automate from memory cleaning. After having done
so had accessibility permission not been turned off again.

You apply an automate the same way you apply common sense: carefully,
one block at a time!
