Okay, I think you might be able to go around this by adding a separate advertising start function that uses non-connectable parameters from start, as I think your current solution will tell the SoftDevice that you're about to start a connectable advertisement again, since the check if it will be connectable or not is done within the advertising start function.

the comment in ble_gap.h for sd_ble_gap_adv_start says

"NRF_ERROR_CONN_COUNT means that the limit of available connections for this connection configuration tag has been reached; connectable advertiser cannot be started."

Increasing the number of available connections also increases the RAM used by the soft device, so i was trying to avoid that... but if that's the only way to do it then i will do that...

I think you need to set the peripheral link count to 2 because a non-connectable advertisement is still a peripheral link, just a non-connectable one. If it is indeed nonconnectable then you shouldn't have to worry about it being connected to afterwards.
