Whats powerengine ? I nevr saw such settings in my deviceI would like to say that i hope to make this thread a sticky, and that we as community, can help each other to eliminate the problem with standby drain or any battery related issue.
I would like to open with a recent issue related to Pie, rouge apps, which results in too much battery drain on idle and overnight.
I recently disabled powergenie to maximize performance of device and make sure that my apps won't auto dim(i'll post the commands here, so you won't have to search it):
pm disable-user --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
I've been monitoring the battery life ever since, and noticed at first a faster drain on idle, that's because i had some rogue dating apps that i didn't think drain too much(PowerGenie might have prevented them from over draining, even though they ran in the background).
Which brings me to the next conclusion- On android PIE, media apps might drain more power than usual, as it wasn't the case with Oreo.
Since i use various dating apps like Tinder,Grindr,OkCupid, it all might contributed to that fact, mainly tinder which was draining battery even in silent operation.
Some here are some advices: If u use dating apps, at least tinder, make sure it's not running in the background.
Instagram is also a battery sucker, facebook app is the biggest sucker, u might use facebook and messenger light.
When you go to sleep, make sure that u have no active media apps in the background, as they'll try to connect to the net even if you have turned it off(Using Airplane mode kinda defeats the purpose of low idle drain), make sure to turn off all unneeded services such as Bluetooth, Wifi, Mobile Data, Location.
I'll update it, the more i'll find, i'll post some of my recent battery life(was using phone whole night, so it didn't overdrain in the night or idle time).
It's all about the battery...

I may have found a sollution to keep Powergenie installed and not have apps dimming the screen. 
I already knew the only case the screen doesn't dim in apps, is when it's set to full brightness manually. But of course you don't want to use your screen on full brightness all the time. So I installed the app 'OLED saver'. This puts the default brightness to max setting, but uses it's own settings to lower the brightness. So the phone thinks you've set the brightness to full all the time and because of that it doesn't dim when opening apps like Gmail, FB, Twitter, Youtube etc...
I hope this apps keeps working fine and it doesn't use to much battery. Now I don't have dimming anymore and can keep Powergenie running to close rogue apps and can still see the battery stats.
Additionally, this app should also prevent pwm flickering, because the system brightness stays on full all the time and uses a different way to lower the brightness. Don't know if this really works, but when it does it's a nice bonus.
This is the app:

So far I like it, looking at the screen in low light was a bit of a strain on the eyes but this app seems to have stopped that.
The only thing that annoys me slightly is that in low light sometimes the brightness keeps dropping then going back up again.

My experiences are exactly the same as yours. In low light the auto brightness is a bit jumpy, but that's easily solved by putting it on manual during these circumstances.
Was wondering is power genie still present on emui 10 or have they called it something else?
