The low power RTCs are more on the side of a few tenth of nA. RV3028
consumes 40nA, including the crystal. AB1805 consumes 14nA with an RC
oscillator. It is funny how SoC vendors think they are low power ;)

This is a user visible message but there is no action for the user to
take apart from retrying. You should drop this.

Ditto.
