CameraLightSensor app draining battery on Galaxy A32 5G. Can someone help?

[AlmighyBoognish]

I got a Samsung Galaxy A32 5G a little over a week ago and I've recently been noticing pretty major battery drain. I checked battery usage and I noticed that a lot of the battery life was being taken up by the CameraLightSensor app. I looked into the issue and it seems that it's because the A series phones don't have a proper light sensor and instead it uses the camera to allow the adaptive brightness feature to work properly. The solution proposed was to turn off adaptive brightness. However, I find the adaptive brightness feature very useful and I don't like the idea of having to turn it off. I also tried the other fixes on the official battery drain fixes article but no luck. Is there another option? Is this even a fixable issue? I really would love to solve this, no one on other forums seems to have answers.

Thanks!
