Feature description

The recording should be stopped automatically if the battery reaches 1%.

Why do you want this feature?

If the phone shuts down during an active recording, the file ends up being corrupted. Automatically stopping the recording at critically low battery charge would safeguard against this.

Even though it is the responsibility of the user to keep their phone charged, it's better to have this safeguard than not.

See: #5 (comment).

I didn't discover that request because it used a completely different wording than mine. And my request is properly formatted, unlike that one.

I think a simpler solution would be to just charge the phone before recording

Of course one should take precautions, but isn't it better to have an additional safeguard?

People make mistakes like forgetting to charge. The whole point of safeguards is to correct for human error. For example, email clients and word processors auto-saving documents.
