Description

What is the issue or idea you have?

The memory consumption is very severe on some phones ,while openning USB debug mode,for example: vivo x21, oppo R15 image

The screenshots are refreshed very quickly，because there is an animation in the notification bar ,but no need to refresh quickly.

Does it only happen on a specific device? Please run adb devices -l and paste the corresponding row.

Please provide the steps to reproduce the issue.

What is the expected behavior?

Do you see errors or warnings in the stf local output? If so, please paste them or the full log here.

Research direction
Investigate the screen capture module in the STF codebase to understand how frequently screenshots are taken. The issue suggests that animations in the notification bar cause unnecessary rapid refreshes. Implement a throttle or frame rate limit to reduce memory consumption. Test the fix on devices like vivo X21 and OPPO R15 to ensure the problem is resolved.
