I have a scene that I swipe up down right and left and these click play pause back forward buttons on ezpdf reader player. Every day I have to reselect ezconfigure in the scene swipe action to select the location on the screen because the swipe suddenly stops working and notifies "autoinput action error" in the notifications. What causes the random delayed breaking?

Could it be that something on your device is killing AutoInput in the background and stops it from working correctly?

Well I know for sure autoinput is still running because it outputs the error. It is now doing almost the same thing but slightly different: I can open ezpdf player and the scene appears. Then the first couple of times I swipe, like two or three it works. Then every swipe after it says Autoinput error, action timed out. It's as if it can no longer direct input to the app, but I can still manually tap the buttons. Any ideas?

Same issue over here, swipe and clicks work for a couple times and than nothing. Everything seems fine, script runs its course get error but nothing saying what's wrong. 

Spent a day playing around with it and figured out if I turn OFF accessibility for autoinput only and than toggle it back on, so just a quick toggle it seems to work, just have to keep doing it every once in a while.

Its wierd because it shows on, just isnt working, was getting clicks and swipes and than nothing.

I can confirm that seems to have solved the problem.

Unfortunately enable just when needed did not seem to solve the problem. I wonder if tasker can be used to automatically enable and disable the service manually.

Disabling and enabling the accessibility service now isn't working either to resolve the problem.

Any updates on this issue?

I also experience AutoInput click actions still being unreliable from time to time only. Battery usage is not optimized.

Turning the (special-)accessibility service off and on again for AutoInput solves the problem only temporarily: Then suddenly the click actions are very reliable and fast but around one day later they get slower again and unreliable from time to time. Most of them then only work if a wait-action of around 1,5 seconds stands ahead.

Any ideas how to make the AutoInput clicks constantly fast and reliable?
