CC2650MODA: Power surge while sleeping

Part Number: CC2650MODA


My BLE peripheral application is based on the TI BLE stack version 2.2.1.18.  I started with the SensorTag application and removed all services except MOV and KEYS.  The application goes to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity and I measure 8ua while sleeping which is good. I let the system stay in sleep mode for 24 hours and the power stays at 8ua. However, twice now I have glanced at the power meter and noticed the system drawing 0.48ma for a few seconds and then it goes back to 8ua.  I do not know how often this happens, but I did stare at the power meter for 5 minutes one time.  I searched though the application code but I cannot find anything to explain this power surge while sleeping.  Could there be some timer running in the BLE stack causing this power usage?
