If you don't do anything in the Storytel app for 90 minutes, your audiobook will stop playing due to inactivity. This is not possible to disable but if you open the Storytel app within 90 minutes the audiobook should not stop.
If your book has stopped due to inactivity, you can just open the Storytel app again and click Play to continue listening.
If you listen on an Android device and you experience that your audiobook stops playing even if you have opened the Storytel app during the last 90 minutes, and you haven't pressed any buttons to possibly stop the audiobook, then it might be because of your battery saving settings.
The battery saving settings can be turned off for the Storytel app, but the instructions differ slightly between different device manufacturers and also between different Android versions.
