T-Beam v1.1 GPS always powered on in 1.2.64

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature: I have several T-Beams with 8M and just updated two of them to 1.2.64 - the rest remained in 1.2.55. I noticed that GPS is never turned off and it keeps running even when rest of the device is in light-sleep. Would not this shorten the battery time ?
