Zusammenfassung:According to an aspect, there is provided a method performed by a portable apparatus (201). Initially, configuration information comprising at least information on a target operational time and information one or more periodic actions to be performed is maintained in a memory of the portable apparatus (201). The portable apparatus (201) performs at least one of the one or more periodic actions according to the configuration information. Thereafter, the portable apparatus (201) determines an estimated remaining operational time for a current charge of a battery (202) powering the portable apparatus. After reducing the target operational time according to passing of time, the portable apparatus (201) compares the estimated remaining operational time to the target operational time. In response to the estimated remaining operational time being shorter than the target operational time, the portable apparatus (201) lengthens one or more periods of one or more respective periodic actions to reduce battery consumption.
