Hi Nick

1. BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE indicates to a central that you are only available for a certain amount of time before the advertisement times out while setting BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE will enable you to set a timeout of 0 (no timeout).

If you set the advertising timeout to non-zero && <=180, the LIMITED_DISC_MODE will return NRF_SUCCESS.

2. Leaving it at LIMITED_DISC_MODE should be fine.

3. As far as I know, the current consumption won't be affected by what advertising flag you set.

Best regards,

Simon
