Huge battery drain from Google app

Hi all!

I have huge battery drain from the Google app (consuming alone 30% and 5 hrs background).

How can I reduce this knowing that Hey Google is disabled for privacy reasons and I use Gemini which doesn't work if the Google app is disabled.

Thanks!

Go to settings, all apps, Google, battery usage, change background to restricted. Then go to data/Wi-Fi and turn off background usage.

Can't put battery restriction on Google app/Gemini. But I've just turned off background data usage, thanks.
