Hello, returning user here. A few days ago I completed 1M at WCG so moved back here to make fresh progress after a number of years. I set up 4 several-year-old tablets with the latest Android BOINC build & set going on here successfully. However, the T530 10.5inch tablet, device 13186253, has downloaded a load of tasks & has made about 34% progress with the first 4, but has since stopped, suspended saying "Computing will resume when battery charge reaches 10% (currently 99%)" (or whatever, much greater than 10%). Power usage is set for all types of power & minimum 10% battery. The preferences are all the same for all devices & this does not happen on the others, those now building fresh credit & RAC. Has anyone come across this sort of message before & know what could cause this? Is this a bug specific to the T530 (I think this is the oldest devices I am using)? Thanks for your help.
Probably the battery is not

Probably the battery is not healthy enough since as you said, it's an old tablet. Are you using adaptor or just battery? I encountered the same problem when I modified my old phone to operate w/o battery (rip up the battery, hook the battery control board to an adaptor directly). When the juice slowly drains to 70%, the BOINC app shows exactly what you described. I don't know why this happened but I'm going to try another method.
BTW, are you letting 4 tasks running at the same time? Try 1 core only and see what happens.
This is a known Boinc
