Stop the consumption of a tracker v1.1

I need help to be able to stop the consumption of a tracker v1.1 while it is not in use. This application is powered by a solar panel and battery. But according to the electrical diagram I cannot set the Chip_pu pin to 0V because it is Pull_up and therefore when setting it to zero it consumes 30mA (3.3V/10K).

Thanks very much.

3.3V at 10K would be 0.33mA, but properly you even get by by using a higher resistance lowering the power consumption by the PU. (100K is not uncommon),

Not knowing what you are really trying to do (I am not familiar with a tracker) You might now already have enough information deciding if this consumption of energy is low enough for your application.

The setting of duty cycle can set the sleep time of the tracker to achieve low power consumption when the device enters sleep mode. I use a wireless tracker to run Lorawan code to achieve sleep every 15 seconds. Through testing, after entering low power consumption, the current is only about 22uA.
