Example project ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart times out?

[riceman0]

Hello, we are integrating a BLE board (nrf52832)  into our system, and the ble_app_uart example project is perfect for us, so we are starting with that.

What we are seeing is that after a few minutes (we don't have a precise idea of the time yet), the advertising stops and the power draw stops.

Are there any timeouts or sleep timers in the SDK example projects that are ON by default?  I did a search and don't see anything, but not sure I'm checking all the right places, or looking for the right keywords.

Thank you for any help.

Advertising duration is determined bu this define in   examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\main.c

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

After 3 minutes advertising stops and power consumption decreases.  Configuring a value of 0 will advertise forever.
