The reason for this issue is Telegram’s Raise to Speak feature. This functionality keeps the proximity sensor on while it is active. So in order to preserve the battery, Pixel lowers the refresh rate to 60Hz and locks it down at that value.

  1. To begin with, launch the Telegram app on your device.
  2. Then tap on the hamburger menu situated at the top left and select Settings.
