Backlight Gesture/Keys - Always On

Howdy, I recently picked up an Instinct 2 and am loving it so far. I've been a long time wearer of Garmin watches starting with the original Fenix. 

My new Instinct 2 however is activating the backlight all day via gesture or keys, even though the settings are all set to "After Sunset" 

I've read that this used to be an issue with older versions of the software, however I am still experiencing this with 9.27. I've reset, hard rebooted with the same result.
