Maps

Recently maps dissapeared from my Android auto. After talking with Gemini, it was discovered to be in deep sleep. I didn't do that nor did I get a notification about it. According to Gemini, if using 8.5 this can happen automatically if system deems it a high battery drain risk.

If you don't use an app, the system automatically puts it into deep sleep and also gives you notifications as a report. It's a cool feature to keep you safe and save your battery.
Anyway, you can turn it off:
Settings
Battery
Background usage limits
Put unused apps to sleep
Toggle it off
And if you want to keep that option, you simply add the apps you want to "Never auto sleeping apps."
Also this option From long time ago not new

I'd be very surprised if they weren't aware of this. I'm 99% sure they use maps and it became a deep sleeping app in spite of this

If Maps (or any app) is not being actively used for a time, it will go into sleep to deep sleep mode. This is not an error, it is by design to save battery power. Using maps at least every 3 days will keep it active, or do what @-CROW- suggested and move it into never auto sleeping mode. Or use Maps on the S25 once every 2-3 days will keep it awake (IIRC).

As a dasher, maps is in constant use. And using a wireless charger in the car, the phone can get hot.
If the phone gets too warm, I lose 3D buildings on maps but there have been 2-3 instances where the phone got too hot when wireless charging and maps flat out shut down and refused to reopen until the phone cooled down, also being removed as an option in the Android Auto dash board.

If there is a bug in Google maps and it keeps crashing, the system will put it in deep sleep.
I've had this a few times over the last few years, not just 8.5

A simple Google search would have told you that it's a known maps issue and a fix is in the works.
