Schedule automatic backup or offer cooldown period
The current automatic backup attempts to backup your files after every edit and thus (based on my settings) attempts to render to pdf after every single edit. This constant rendering and uploading rapidly drains the iPad battery to the point where I lose about 20-30% per hour of use and as a side effect makes the device very hot and uncomfortable to use.
Instead, it would be good to have an option to either schedule a backup (i.e. once an hour, once a day, etc) or have a cooldown option where a document won't be backed up until say 5 minutes of no activity has passed.
As it stands I have disabled automatic backup because it drains the battery too rapidly.

I backup goodnotes to my dropbox account. Because of the frequent syncing, Dropbox's cache file size blows to insane sizes... So I use ~100 GB but the cache file increases up to 300 GB and more!!

I have the same experience. It drains my iPad battery so fast. I would be better if there is Scheduled. Back Up options.

Totally agree. This makes the auto-backup unusable. Especially since even if you "pause" it, it resets it's state periodically. So you end up losing battery life without expecting it.

Would also work to have an "automatically update on notebook close" option. The battery drain is insane as it stands.
