After a running workout my Apple Watch kept monitoring my heart rate and my battery is depleting

i ran a workout yesterday and ever since then my watch has been continuously monitoring my heart rate even when not in app and it is depleting my battery. I still want to keep heart rate on just not 24/7 while I wear it.

Do you have irregular heart beat notification (AFib) enabled on your Apple Watch? If so, you cannot disable continuous heart measurements. The Apple Support article I linked below will help with your understanding of the heart health features Apple Watch offers.

However, if you’re doing a workout, continuous heart rate measurements are made during the workout and for three minutes (cool down) after completion of the workout.
