My Question or Issue

Since recently (less than two months ago) when the mobile phone is connected by bluetooth to the car radio (there are several cars with different radios and they are not Android Auto devices), if I leave the Spotify player screen active (where the cover of the song, previous, pause, next... controls appear), the mobile screen remains active indefinitely. It never turns off.
If instead of Spotify I leave the phone's home screen and Spotify on in the background, the screen turns off normally (after 30 seconds) and the music continues to play.
Until recently (the change was made on both phones, which have different versions of Android) this didn't happen. I could leave the Spotify player on in the foreground and if I didn't touch anything the screen would turn itself off, which seems to me to be the right behaviour.
I have the latest version of Spotify on both devices.
