Rest mode is shown as rest mode, not as a problem. A PS5 in rest mode used to look the
same as one that was off or broken: a red "Not connected", "Helper isn't running" on every
console screen, and Connection's Check blaming the jailbreak or a VPN. The app now asks the
console the way Remote Play does (it answers "standby" while it sleeps), and shows a calm,
blue "In rest mode" in the status bar, the console tabs, Home and the game page. Console screens
say "Your PS5 is in rest mode" with a Wake button when wake is set up. A console that answers
nothing at all reads "Not answering", with the setting it needs to stay reachable in rest mode
(Settings › System › Power Saving › Features Available in Rest Mode).
Nothing fights a sleeping console. The automatic reconnect no longer pokes a console in rest
mode every 30 seconds all night; it waits, and sends the helper again once the console is
awake. Uploads that meet rest mode wait ("Waiting for the PS5 to wake") and carry on after the
wake, without using up their retries; in the browser version they used to fail. Keep-awake skips
a sleeping console. Measured on both consoles on FW 13.60, including a full rest → wake →
helper back → rest cycle on the Pro.
