I use Tailscale as my VPN, and it’s always just worked for me. But lately, it keeps hopping out. This is only an issue on my Android phone too. I have set Tailscale to be the ‘always-on-vpn’ in settings, but that doesn’t change anything for me.
Anyone experience the same thing? Is there a know fix for this?

From the interface you should have android 12+, check if the app has the permission to run in the background, if that doesnt work it could be android’s phantom process killing that stops it
I’d create an issue on their issue tracker: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/
This happens every time I reset my Fold 5 on Android 14 and randomly in the past.
What I do now is to set a “Routine” to start the application each time I plug in my phone into a power plug and I check it each time I plug it in.
Not exactly a solution but at least I haven’t had a problem since.
Do you have the Tailscale’s “Magic DNS” enabled? I had problems with Tailscale on Android, too, and disabling their DNS solved it.
Does the VPN have a persistent notification? If you disabled it that could be a problem. My VPN has a notification that is always on. Annoying for someone who always clears notifications, but I’ve gotten used to an it.
My VPN has an option to keep a notification always active in order to stop it disconnecting, and it seems to work. Don’t know if that helps? Yours might have a similar option?
What phone are you using?
