The info @jprivacoba is looking for is in this post:

If you use my PMIC code to bump charging current to 1amp then once the setup loop runs the charging can go up to 1 amp. Now this higher charging current will hold as long as the power applied to Vin remains regardless of charging current, so you will still be able to charge at the higher currents even in deep sleep. This should be no problem during the dayligh…
