      That's expected, are you using machine.pin_deepsleep_wakeup()? I found that increases consumption a bit more compared to timer deepsleep.

      There's also around 16 μA loss due to going through the voltage regulator. For even lower power consumption we recommend the OEM module which can be powered directly at 3.3V. (don't power the LoPy4 without going through the regulator on Vin, unless you physically remove it)

      If you get our OEM reference board and the OEM module you can also remove a resistor to disconnect the voltage regulator.

        I tried with my power supply through the Vin Pin at 3.7V. I get 40 to 50 uA in Deepsleep
        Then I tried with my power suply at 3.3V and indeed i had like 24 uA !

        Thank you again for your help

          @cduplouy I am also getting around 15mA during deepsleep. I tried with 3.3v and 3.7v using resistor but then it is not sufficient power for the pycom to run.
