Run mode background light always on in the early morning?

Now that I go for my morning run when it's still dark, I've noticed that the background light in my Forerunner 945 is always on – at least until sunrise! I just tested Run mode now later in the morning, and the light switches off after ~10s, as it is set in the Settings and has always been even when running early in the morning.

Anybody else noticed this? Is this a new feature that I haven't yet found on the Settings? :)

Curious about this... and worried about how much this is taking from the battery!

  • Any update about the backlight issue during an activity between sunset and sunrise? I do all my runs before sunrise now and having the background light on all the time really takes a toll on the battery. The change to winter time will not be a solution up here... :| 

    Garmin, looking into this?
