samsung background apps

I almost give up. I tried many many things but my samsung s23 is killing important apps and I miss notifications. As soon as I unlock my phone, all of them showing up instantly. I'm missing messages and important notifications. I'm constantly checking phone because of it. BTW, it's working sometimes I don't know how and when it decides to kill my apps. I disabled any memory and battery related optimizations and mark my important apps as unrestricted and never sleep but it doesn't work mostly

EDIT: it's definitely duckduckgo app tracker. It somehow kills some apps. Disabled it and all of my issues are gone away

that's weird, I haven't faced any optimisation issues on my S23 Ultra, I get all messages like normal
No such issues on my Fold 4. I even have battery saver mode on all the time, but I turn off optimizations for some important apps and it works fine.
do a factory reset and start from scratch. do optimizations step by step to learn the cause of your problem.
- Do this. If you don't want to start from scratch you can reset all permissions in the settings somewhere, but that means you'll have to re-grant permissions again. It is possible that there is an app installed that is "managing" things.
- Starting from stratch will take huge amounts of time, configs and other things , is it really the only way. Im using android for 2 months and i just installed my apps.
  
  That shouldn't happen with fault free hardware and standard apps from official appstores. have you tried reaching out to the support?
Find what actually kills your app by running the following line via ADB terminal.

adb dumpsys activity exit-info *app package*

That gave you a list of the "killers" of your apps. The reason or subreason constant value can be checked here.

You haven't mentioned this in OP yet, try to lock your apps from recents and enable autostart for them.

It suprises me that the guide for Samsung at dontkillmyapps is so long lmao.
- I checked my problematic apps and all of them killed with this message
  
  TOO MANY EMPTY PROCS description=too many empty state=empty trace=null
  
  My bad, I didn't mention it yet, What I meant by constant values ar the number after subreason= or reason= lines.
  
  Do you see them? What are they mostly?
Settings > Battery and Device Care > Battery > Background Usage Limits > Never Sleeping

Add all the apps you want constantly running to this list.
This website has some good tips.
- Yes, i did all of the advices there
  
  I don't have a Samsung, but check your apps (maybe system apps?) and look for "Google Services Framework" and "Google Play Services". See if you can disable any optimisations and clean the app data. Reboot and then open the Play Store - which might not work well right away - but will force Services Framework to "reload". Reboot again after a minute or so and see if the problem has improved. I'd also try to remove and re-add your Google account.
  
  One of these (Play Services/Services Framework) handle the "cloud notifications" used for push notifications.
  
  Yeah, I got nothing then.
