I tried it, and it worked well for several months, and then the phone died. They’re not made to run and be on for that amount of time.

Aren’t phones literally designed to run and be on all the time nowadays? Huh?
Like, yeah, you’re using old hardware to run stuff and you presumably stopped using that phone for some reason, so it makes sense not to run vital services off your old phone, but for simple stuff like this it seems neat.

Yeah that is a strange take to say the least. I have an older pixel that has long been used as a satellite mic running grapheneOS. It stays plugged in and optimized at 80% charge and sips juice without cellular services. It still functions as an all day replacement when my primary device in the shop even.
