Connection to Argus 2 won't stay disconnected when idle

I've got an Argus 2, and I'm connecting via neolink with the following config:

bind = "0.0.0.0"
[[cameras]]
name = "back2"
username = "admin"
password = ***********
uid = **********
push_notifications = false
idle_disconnect = true

[cameras.pause]
on_client = true
on_motion = true
timeout = 2.1

Everything seems to work fine, I'm able to create a picture entity card for the camera on my dashboard to view the Argus 2 stream.

However, I would expect that the connection to the camera stops when not in use (due to idle_disconnect = true). This does not seem to be the case - if I'm not viewing the camera card (the HA dashboard is not being viewed), the camera battery continues to drain and the logs show regular client activations every 15 seconds:

...

Occasionaly I see some other entries (see below), but for the most part it's just InUse/Idle:

...

It's possible I'm misunderstanding what the documentation means by the following:

When idle_disconnect = true neolink will disconnect from the camera 30s after it stops being used. Neolink considers it as being used if there is an active stream running, or if there is motion being detected or an mqtt command being run.

I would assume that since I'm not viewing the dashboard, there is no active stream running. I'm also certain that there isn't any motion that could be waking up the camera at regular intervals like the logs would suggest.

Is this an issue with neolink or am I not understanding how to correctly configure and use the stream?
