Testing Power saving mode (psm) on nRF9160

Question

I started working on power saving. I tried running the power_off sample from zephyr but there was no change in the current. The current holds the range 30mA to 32mA even after turning off serial . Is there a sample for power saving modes available.

Is there a sample for power saving modes available. 
 For measuring power consumption in PSM mode, take a look at this guide: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/cellular-iot-guides/b/hardware-design/posts/measuring-psm-idle-current-on-the-nrf91-dk . The guide is ~1 year old, but the principles and methods for measuring the power consumption is still the same. Also note that your network provider need to support PSM mode, in order for the device to enter PSM mode.
