Zenfone 8 GPS disabled when display turned off, despite settings ensuring maximum performance

My prior Android phones let me use Google Maps and navigation while the phone's display was off.
On my Zenfone 8, even with "maximum performance" settings and making sure that there are no limits on Google Maps, when I start a navigation and get going, if I turn the display off, I very soon get a "GPS signal lost" announcement.
I've re-checked all my settings, and everything is set correctly to avoid this, yet it still happens.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello everyone, even on android 12 for me it happened to lose the map signal with the screen off, I entered the app information, in battery it was marked optimized, I changed it to unrestricted and it did not lose the signal anymore, I don't know if it will affect the battery, but for now it solved.
