nice 🙏🐧 thanks for the update. i was reading that rak does last a lot longer, but that if heltec is put in power sleep and you dont continuously stay on the bluetooth it is about ~2x the rak power draw.. (ie rak lasts two days and heltec 18hrs).. all just anticdotal but that IS pretty nice being so efficient..

It is possible my RAK node is going into sleep mode, but it certainly shouldn't be. I've left bluetooth on for the past 8 days because when I turned it off (on my phone), the phone thought the node had booted a few second before I connected to it.

Not sure what's going on there, but it's a reason to remain skeptical about my data.

ah interesting.. yeah i turn bt on and off all the time its neat because when i reconnect i get all the messages that had been received since last disco. im fortunate to have a lor of receive capability tho so far, sending not so much 😂 interesting that receiving appears to be way easier than sending (to large mesh)
