Having an Accessibility Service running with "canPerformGesture=true" it will trigger a bug in Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro with Android 12 every time the battery drops 1% and it will make the device freeze for 1-2 seconds and then it will unfreeze and execute all the touches from that period of time, like in the screen record below:

The issue is reproducing to multiple users (asked on Reddit/XDA) with the steps below.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Enable any Accessibility Service with "canPerformGesture=true" permission (there is a dummy app with sample code below)
Use the device normally and it will freeze for 1-2 seconds any time the battery drops 1%

What happened:

The device will freeze for 1-2 seconds every time battery drops 1%

What you think the correct behavior should be:

Device shouldn't freeze/lag each time the battery drops 1%

Sample code:

This is a simple dummy accessibility service app that does absolutely nothing, it only requests the "canPerformGesture" permission and nothing else: https://github.com/micku7zu/PixelAccessibilityLag

I also attached the sample code in a zip file: PixelAccessibilityLag.zip.

Screen record with the issue:
