Maximum average power consumption / current when transmitting close to bandwidth (nRF52)

The power estimation tool on https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/power/ maxes out at a minimum interval of 7.5ms and a maximum payload of 27 bytes, with 824mA average current. As discussed on the blog post that was published with the tool, this is nowhere near the bandwidth of BLE 4.2 or BLE 5, but the tool has not been updated yet to reflect higher throughput.

Can someone who has tested this tell me what current or power consumption you see closer to the maximum bandwidth of BLE 4.2 or BLE 5?

Thank you!
