Just mentioning this in case you didn't already know:
If you call getUserMedia, you can leave the stream open for up to 24 hours before the next request (or the user closes the app). It's definitely not a solution to the problem, but it does cut down the amount of requests a user gets.

There is the drawback that, even if you set track.enabled to false, the recording indicator remains on. I've had at least two users reach out asking about that.
