Keeping Termux Running in Background

Android's battery optimization aggressively kills background processes. Disable battery optimization for Termux in your phone's settings under Battery > App optimization > Termux > Don't optimize. Acquire a wake lock via termux-wake-lock before running the watchdog. This prevents the CPU from sleeping mid-upload, which would interrupt the operation and cause a failed upload requiring manual retry.
