Android Bluetooth keeps disconnecting
Android's battery optimization feature cuts Bluetooth to save power when the screen is off. This is the most common cause. Go to Settings and turn off battery optimization for the app that uses Bluetooth. This fixes disconnections immediately.
Android has a battery-saving feature that disconnects Bluetooth in the background to preserve power. This saves battery but causes frustration when you're listening to music or on a call. Turning off battery optimization for your Bluetooth app keeps the connection active.
