    well if you have not configured the FreeRTOS to be in tickless idle mode, then it will consume more power because at the SDK default tick frequency, it will wake up the chip almost every millisecond. Use tickless idle as shown here

    Built in tickless idle functionality is enabled by defining configUSE_TICKLESS_IDLE as 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h

    NOTE : there was a bug in tickless idle mode that made loose ticks.Apply the changes from my answer below in this case.
