Seems possibly related to an issue I had today where I saw a notification about an ongoing recording several hours into it, and the green recording icon hadn't been showing.

The app showed no recording going on, so I stopped it via the notification which resulted in a corrupted file and severe slowdown of my phone for about a minute, but the file was quite large, of course.

I had only locked the screen during those hours, not turned the phone off.

I've so far failed to reproduce it with shorter recordings.
