What is the Icon on right of screen when autosaving?
When autosaving an icon appears on right side of screen that is teardrop-shaped with a cross inside and halo above it. What does it mean?

So who can tell me what it is? It is definitely not an checkpoint indicator since the top right already says Checkpoint or Profile.

It is a checkpoint indicator. It is the symbol of the beacon mental hospital. There is a statue in front of the hospital, that looks like this.

Ok but why does this icon need to be shown when we already know it's a checkpoint since the top right shows a brain with Checkpoint above it?

The point of the discussion is why the Saving icons appear twice at the same time on the screen in different areas when just one icon and one time is enough.

There is already a brain icon with the text Checkpoint when autosaving at the top right corner of screen, so why is there a need for there to be a second icon which also means Checkpoint/autosaving at the middle right of the screen unless this icon represents something else besides autosaving?

Simple answer: Because the developers decided, that this is the way to go.

Ok so I analysed the icon some more and finally realised what it means. The icon (teardrop with cross inside and halo on top) does not indicate autosaving/checkpoint, it actually indicates that there is a Safe Room (the one with mirror that leads to hospital) nearby when autosaving.
