Hi,

In SDK v15, we changed the unit to 10 milliseconds instead of second. You can find that in the definition

#define APP_ADV_DURATION 18000 /**< The advertising duration (180 seconds) in units of 10 milliseconds. */

We will need to update the ble_adv_fast_timeout and ble_adv_slow_timeout explanation in the ble_adv_modes_config_t definition to update to the new unit.
