How do I disable the MCELL requests on the nRF CLOUD?

[rmptxf]

The nRF Cloud seems to generate a lot of MCELL requests. How do I disable that? or, at least limit it?

Also for the messages, it seems to store a lot of that too. Can that be limited?

I'm running the asset tracker v2 app on thing91.

Thanks,

Abdelali

Hello, 

There is no way of disable the MCELL alone. You will need to disable cellular positioning. 

If you want to do less frequent sampling then you can decrease the sampling interval. nRF cloud has run time configurations for it for both active and passive modes. There are also corresponding Kconfigs for compile time configuration, see 

If you want keep the sampling interval as it is and never do cellular positioning, then you can disable that at run time via NOD list (Real-time configurations)

You can disable ncell entirely by specifying ncell i the nod list field, or by setting CONFIG_DATA_SAMPLE_NEIGHBOR_CELLS_DEFAULT=n. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind
