I use my device mostly as a camera and a flashlight when I work night shift. I only need the device 4 times during those 8 hours, 2 minutes each time the most (8 minutes total)

Would it make sense to turn the device off after using it or is the amount of battery I'm gonna save negligible?

Another question would be: Would it make sense to turn the device off when I leave the workplace? 16 hours of savings, or would this also be negligible?

if anything, turning off the phone during those 8 hours would be worse, as starting back up takes a surprisingly high amount of battery. but inbetween shifts it'll likely help to turn off the phone as long as you are sure you won't need the phone at all during that time

as one of the other comments mentioned, enable airplane mode to save a good bit of battery. while there is an app meant to help in simmilar scenarios, ForceDoze, it's annoying to set up and requires some quite nerdy stuff.

I'd keep it on during the shift, and turn it off outside of it. If you don't expect calls or other communications during the shift, put it in airplane mode for maximum savings

Why not just get a digital camera and a torch?

Pixel 8 & Grapheneos, about 4-5% over night and two app still working Battery Botpro and Rethink. Not use flight mode or battery saver.
