Hei JMaze,

I assume you are using the asset_tracker_v2 sample with nRF Connect for Cloud.

In this case, and with the pre-built HEX file that connects to nRF Connect for Cloud, the default compile time value of CONFIG_DATA_DEVICE_MODE is enabled, meaning the device is in active mode.

In order to enable passive mode at runtime, you need to set the "activeMode" property to false in the device shadow, as documented here:

The nRF Cloud web application does not support the manipulation of real-time configurations. However, this is possible by using the REST API calls described in nRF Cloud Patch Device State. To manipulate the device configuration, the desired section of the device state must be populated with the desired configuration of the device. The following schema sets the various device configuration parameters to their default values:

{
          "desired":{
                  "config":{
                          "activeMode":true,
                          "activeWaitTime":120,
                          "movementTimeout":3600,
                          "movementResolution":120,
                          "gpsTimeout":60,
                          "movementThreshold":10
                  }
          }
  }
