3 weeks ago if you've got the GPS in slot D, that's your issue. The fix is to either change the "user button" pin to something other than the default (pin 9), which is part of the connector on slot D, or move the GPS to slot A as recommended by the docs.

3 weeks ago This looks like the same issue previously reported with the RAK shutting down at 15 minutes. The button workaround at the end of that discussion was used in a caving project.

Hardware
Rak4631
Firmware Version
2.3.10
Description
2.3.10 and probably 2.3.6 on rak4631 with gps module With GPS enabled, but no lock, it appears the GPS reports a lat/lon of 0/0 and then the system indicates "long button press shutdown" at the time where it hits the broadcast interval (15 mins) See attached screen shot of serial log. I was able to replicate this easily and repeatably.
Disabling Smart Position has no effect Disabling GPS and indicating fixed position resolves the shutdown issue
This might also manifest itself with GPS enabled, consider the scenario where you have GPS lock for a period of time and transmit is OK, but for some reason GPS loses lock, this may repeat. I'm pretty sure this happened to me at least once whereby the unit shutdown in the middle of the night unattended.
Sorry that i did not produce text log copy, but putty disconnects the moment the device shuts down, and prevents me from selecting the log text. I could have made it save to log. Derp.
