Thanks for sharing this tip!
I tried it on my Fairphone 5.
While I did not use it for all the time since the 2 days and a few hours I enabled it (forgot about it after restarting the phone) I could see that my estimation of the enery consumption of my ravenous Fairphone 5 was a bit exagerated.
The phone got from 85% to 50% in about 50 hours so while not good it's not as catastrophic I was thinking. Mind that I did not disable Bluetooth, cellular and wifi, only Gps is off.

It would be perfect if a “super power-saving mode” like that could be built into UT.
In my opinion the use case is a bit off the general usage AND it has potential and difficult to debug problems with other uses, so it would be best to bake this into an app to avoid too much complaining from not very experienced users.
I'd say that it would be a good fit for TweakUT since it's already an unconfined app and it is managing already the background state of apps, so manual changes to background state could be coordinated with automatic changes when enabling reduced power use.
It would be perfect if there was an API to allow an unconfined app like TweakUT to add an indicator in the top level status too, for rapid access.
Edit to correct 50 hours instead of 5 (!)
