The User Guide states, that if you measure an application running on a DK (acting as host for the PPK), then you should NOT use the regulator as supply.

Hi, the voltage slider on the PPK is not very stable, so I think it is better to leave it alone and set the power select switch to the DK position (Using the same voltage as the DK)

You say that the current increase to "a few dozen mA" after running for a few seconds. A few dozen is per definition more than 24mA. The nRF52832 chip can not consume 24mA or more.

I do not think that this behavior is related to FreeRTOS, so very strange to see that spike there when you change the voltage. I asked my colleague to help us out, he is more experienced with PPKs

This happened when I adjusted the voltage of PPK to 3.6V too!
