Can anyone tell me if the Soundcore A30s will

1. Last ±8hrs on Bluetooth mode - I don't need ANC as A20s were working fine (except the issues below) and

2. Will not automatically switch off when I fall asleep (was such a torture period before I learned how to switch off that feature the A20 - I reaf there was no way to turn this off on A30s initially ...but don't know if this got fixed??)

I am a horribly light sleeper. I've used A20s for about 6months and to start with they were like a miracle. I had the best sleeps of my life for a few days, but the problems below mean that I now have to strategically use them only from the later part of the night until waking. I really do need them to help me fall asleep because I have noisy late-night neighbours and a mega-snoring partner! I am OK with the slight bulkiness as they help me sleep so much better.

I loved the Soundcore red nose option but soon realised even with the auto-stop after falling asleep turned off, they still occasionally switched to nothing randomly - causing me to wake abruptly.

Another problem was their randomly disconnecting. To sort either problem I had to wake up and reconnect manually.

Part of the solution was to forego the nice Soundcore red noise and use a combination white noise I have created from a free app (Whitenoise Light - highly recommend it) via Bluetooth from the outset. This - and remembering to take my phone with me to the bathroom in the night helped resolve most issues.

Now I am dealing with an ever shortening battery life which has gone from about 6-7hours down to approximately ±5hr.

I am willing to fork out for A30s but need to know they 1) Can last ±8hrs on Bluetooth mode and 2) Will not automatically switch off when I fall asleep.

Any advice or insight welcome.

Thank you.
