If you have a Bluetooth device that you use sometimes but not all the time with your computer or phone, do you leave Bluetooth on even when you're not using it?

My phone has a glitch where it will sometimes turn it off. That's the only reason I even have the Bluetooth icon in the shortcuts. There's basically never any time I don't want bluetooth running.

It's needed for Tile's background location history to work, and it makes it very convenient use headphones.

And on my computer, my mouse is Bluetooth, so I'm never not using it unless I'm not using my computer at all.
