Booster is turning off when it shouldn't

I have the below linked config, that when the saber is running works perfectly. Within seconds of deactivating the main blade and audio ends, I see a serial message saying “booster off” then all the accent pixels go dark. The saber is not asleep as it responds to a swing on or button press as it should.
What is wrong in the config or anywhere else that may cause this?

Added note. I have tried OS 7.15, 7.14, and 7.10. All have the same issue.

It almost seems like it is ignoring the “SHARED_POWER_PINS” define?

Continued troubleshooting.

If I remove enable OLED define (ENABLE_SSD1306), the accents are working fine and the booster does not turn off until the timeout set in the config is met.

Thanks for reporting this. Turns out to be a bug in the OLED code.

Quick fix is to replace this line:

with:

     if (on_) *on = true;

Please let me know if this helps.

That change looks to have worked. The OLED shut off with a serial monitor for it, but all the accents stayed on.

Thnk you Prof.
