I only use it for downloads. Apart from that, I don't see any other advantage to it, as I regularly play alone and have an extra controller, so one is charging up while I'm using the other. A very big disadvantage I think the rest mode has is that when you turn the console on again, you can no longer use the TV remote to control the console, you have to turn everything off and start again. I mean, it's not like the TV remote is much more functional than the console controller, but it's really useful to conserve the battery life of my ps5 controllers if I'm only streaming, which has become more common nowadays.
