So perhaps canceling job id #2 will work? Alas, it turns back on on every reboot. I am experimenting with having tasker run
cmd jobscheduler cancel com.google.android.permissioncontroller 2
on every boot, in a root shell. I fear that the job may still run before tasker cancels it.

I haven’t tried this myself (yet?). I can however confirm that appops knows about AUTO_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS_IF_UNUSED as an OP on my phone.

I’ll add a couple of links on this matter: https://automationchronicles.com/set-permissions-via-adb-and-appops-command/ and https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager

For general knowledge, the list of AppOps can found as the RUNTIME_AND_APPOP_PERMISSIONS_OPS array on https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/app/AppOpsManager.java

It would have been much nicer to change the default permission for this OP to “ignore” (which means disallow). That would be a catch-all solution for this problem. Not sure if this is possible, though.

I dug a bit more and discovered the “appops” command. The invocation we’re interested in is:
appops set 10259 AUTO_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS_IF_UNUSED ignore

“AUTO_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS_IF_UNUSED” is the “hibernation” operation and we can do “ignore” or “allow” – note that it’s case-sensitive.

It’s a bit strange, as it operates differently depending if you give it a UID or a package name, and “appops set org.genecash.garagedor AUTO_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS_IF_UNUSED ignore” does not do what you want it to do.

I’ve used the following to set all “third-party” (i.e. apps I’ve installed personally) to not hibernate:
for uid in `pm list packages -U -3 | awk ‘{ print $3}’ FS=:` ; do appops set $uid AUTO_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS_IF_UNUSED ignore ; done
