For best battery-life, should Duraspeed be enabled with all app disabled in it? Do I understand it right?

Correct. Just your apps might go to sleep, especially sideloaded ones. Probably it has a ārecipeā to boost system apps, but as weāve seen reports with the alarm, itās not doing a great job.
Iāve disabled it entirely on my device

I have used it twice, it hasnāt worked, and I gave up on it. Thank you for reminding me that.
BTW @ploum would you say that alarm not going off is also a feature of minimalism? Or the design so unclear that you havenāt been aware that itās possible to set the alarm to the minute?

After testing with duraspeed disabled for 5 days, I can confidently say that duraspeed is the issue. I have not had any late or missed alarms after disabling duraspeed for this app. @urszula , if the team can begin disabling duraspeed for alarms by default, this appears to be a solid solution unless there is a deeper reason for the alarm not working.

@ryanness This has been passed on to our team. Thank you so much for checking.
@ryanness Our team came back with some follow-up questions:
Which OS version did you test it onāwas it 1.2.0 or earlier OS versions?
Did you disable the entire DuraSpeed, or just the Alarm?
Thanks for getting back to me. I am on 1.2.0 and have only a few apps enabled on duraspeed, mainly audio apps such as Spotify and antennapod to ensure they stay awake for background playback. The stock alarm app is also checked to allow it to run in the background with duraspeed.

@ryanness Our team suggested that you try this command in ADB
adb shell dumpsys duraspeed config
What does this command do?

It looks like a kind of diagnostic/configurational report for a selected process.

So since I get the same platform Whitelist, it just showing how Duraspeed is configured by default. Basically to allow āalarmā and other system apps to run in the background.
However Android has its own battery optimization (which you can access through activity launcher or inkOS v0.2). And there the alarm is āoptimizedā.
So there might be a conflict somewhere between Duraspeed (Mediatek chipset optimization) and the Android Battery Optimization that might cause the issue of Alarm still being restricted and delays happening for some people.

That command is asking the deviceās dumpsys tool (a system service status dumper) to report the configuration for a system service called DuraSpeed.
Unfortunately, adding the alarm clock as an exception in Duraspeed didnāt help. This morning, the alarm clock was supposed to ring at 5:00, but it rang late at 5:03.
Sure, it was only 3 minutes, but thatās not how it should be.
So please, Mudita, make sure you get this sorted out in the next update.

I got another MK, for my wife.
Funnily, my alarm always go off on time, her was late today. And I didnāt care setting up mine.

Following up on this as well. Another week in and today all but 2 alarms went off. Somehow I made it to the later alarma successfully without the earlier two going off?

Iām passing on all the comments to the team. Personally, I havenāt had any issues with the alarm, but I wonder if any of it has to do with setting more than 1 alarm.
Nope, me and my wife have one alarm per MK. Mine is always on time, my wifeās was usually on time but got late once.

@buiosu Good to know. I will tell the team. Thanks for the feedback.
It doesnāt matter to me whether I set one alarm or several. The alarm clock always rings 3-5 minutes late.
