When you call .start(), the plug-in will track the device forever, until told to .stop().

The plug-in only tracks when the device is detected to be moving.

Read the wiki "Philosophy of Operstion".

The website you posted doesn't seem to exist. Are you saying it's not something we developers can control? I'm on iOS and it seems iOS is pausing the app's execution about 5 min. after it's sent to the background. Can we do something about this, or not?

It works fine for me.

Are you saying it's not something we developers can control?

Yes.

I carry a number of devices around with me everywhere I go, for years. I do not have a problem with my devices tracking me.

iPhone 15 Pro @ 17.0.3

Google Pixel 6 @ 14

Have you read the wiki "Philosophy of Operation"? This plug-in tracks the device only when the device is detected to be moving. When the device is stationary, there is no location recorded.
