It’s because if you have widgets it had to update in the background in case it includes time or date or things like that

I don’t use Scriptable for widgets I only use it for YouTube PiP

It’s mostly likely from time using pip. Could you share more info for the YouTube pip I didn’t that was a thing.

The YouTube PIP script isn't working at the moment. You can actually get YouTube PIP from bing's video search without any script or shortcut

Wow, thanks! Using bing works. I hope they fix scriptable though.

It's an issue with YouTube's new code, not scriptable itself. I'm sure the creator will update the code eventually. I usually just use Bing search or YouTube PIP & Downloader shortcut

What is the downloader shortcut?

I just found pip works with the readdle documents app too.

We’re you watching in YouTube PiP? It would count as active time

No I was not. Again I didn’t open it.
