Not in firmware. You must change your machine. You can use motor drivers with an idle current like anything from trinamic. TMC2209, etc. That would likely require a different controller.
Maybe you could add a counterweight or spring.
I use TMC2208 So if I understood correctly it TMC2209
Note that he said a different controller, because MKS DLC32 does not have the wiring to configure the special current settings on a TMC2209.
One possibility would be to use an external driver for the Z axis that can handle the current without getting hot. Another would be to add a cooling fan to keep the TMC2208 cooler. Heat sinks are much less effective than fans.
I do not know if or how the standalone Trinamic drivers handle standby current. Here is a list of alternative controllers.

I am going to close this issue because it is not a FluidNC issue. You might find help from other MKS users on our Discord.
So I have to change my rack system with a screw. It's the motor that's heating up; there's a fan above the card.

What happened?
Good morning I have just modified my laser by adding the motorized axis. With a rack system but with the weight of the laser it descends after homing. I blocked the motors by setting 255 idle_ms. My question is can we prevent the Z motor from moving. I noticed that by setting 255 the Z motor heats up
