by Generate forever I supposed to referring to the right click generation button and there's a generator forever option

how this feature is implemented is literally makeing the browser click the generate button for you using code when it sees the last job has ended It's function is totally depends on the webpage being active, if you close the browser or the browser is somehow frozen or sleeping, is going to stop working browsers these days may decide to pause / sleep / kill/ webpage in order to conserve resource I believe this is what's happening, when your tab is minimized, your browser decides that it needs conserve resources and then you don't seem to be using this page and decides to sleep this tab

depending on the browser you're using they might be different settings or methods that you can try to prevent this from happening if you are using chrome then you may try to setting > performance chrome://settings/performance
