Because the higher you go the more thin air. So the engines have to work very hard to suck air in their engines dues to thin air and less air.

Do planes stay idle in the air?

Planes do not typically stay idle in the air; they are designed to be in constant motion. However, they can maintain a steady altitude and speed for a limited time using engines at low thrust or by gliding. This is often done during certain phases of flight, such as holding patterns or waiting for landing clearance. Ultimately, planes require continuous movement to ensure safety and efficiency.
