Bluetooth advertisements stopping

[romain-riviere]

Hello,

I'm running a mobile application connecting with multiple GoPros (Hero11, Hero12 & Hero13 atm). We have different triggers launching a process where we connect to the cameras to to wake them from sleep mode, record a video, download the video and send the camera back to sleep mode.

We have problems where our system stops working after some time, very long and random time (hours or days).

After some investigations, we found out that, sometimes, the cameras stops advertising when they are restarted too much in a short time.

Is it some kind of security measure from the firmware ?
We are aware that the advertisements stops after 8 hours, and have handled this case awakening the camera every few hours. But this case is kind of random and we would really appreciate if someone could help us understand the issue.

Thanks a lot for reading,
Romain
