After configuring the one-shot alarm, I still have those intempestive
reboots if I try to power down the board by a long press within 16
seconds. The only thing I found in the datasheet regarding this timing
is in case of power undervoltage, not sure how this is linked to what
I see.

@Adam Thomson Any ideas?

Thanks,
