Ok, reverting the change did it!

#if 0
#ifdef SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT
            if (nrf_sdh_is_enabled())
            {
                uint32_t err_code = sd_app_evt_wait();
                APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            }
            else
#endif
#endif

I'm using DK PCA10056 1.1.0, 2019.12 and I'm using SoftDevice S140 v7.0.1.

Can you try reverting the change? This has also proven to help in some cases. Can you add the build version of your DK (the numbers below PCA10056 on your DK) as well as the SoftDevice version you're using?

Best regards,

Hi Simonr, unfortunately, that code was modified as recommended in that post in SDK 16.0.0 so that doesn't seem to be the problem in this case.

        configPRE_SLEEP_PROCESSING( xModifiableIdleTime );
        if ( xModifiableIdleTime > 0 )
        {
#ifdef SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT
            if (nrf_sdh_is_enabled())
            {
                uint32_t err_code = sd_app_evt_wait();
                APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
            }
            else
#endif
            {

Please check out this case, as changing a few lines in the port_cmsis_systick.c file has helped multiple people with an SDK bug causing FreeRTOS applications not to go to sleep properly.

If this doesn't help, please say so as well as post what SoftDevice version you're on, and I'll look further into it.

Best regards,

Simon
