For GrapheneOS full disk encryption, am I correct in understanding that the disk is encrypted when my phone is locked and decrypted when I unlock it? So I don't need to turn it off for it to be encrypted, as long as it's locked it's encrypted?

The disk is encrypted when the phone is off, and it is decrypted after you turn it on and authenticate locally.

Thanks, that makes sense.
