ovrAvatarVisibilityFlag_FirstPerson getting unset when controller is held still

 I'm rendering controllers using the Avatar SDK in C++ and running into an issue where the 1st person visibility flag bit (ovrAvatarVisibilityFlag_FirstPerson ) is unset as soon as I stop moving the controlller. This happens when the controller is resting on a desk or if I hold the controller still. Moving the controller causes it to get set again. The controller position/orientation is still tracking the whole time (it's connected)

This is causing the controllers to disapper when they are not visible as I'm checking this flag while rendering:

Is this normal behavior? Has anyone seen this or have any ideas on how to work around it?

The controllers should sleep when there is no movement and there's no captouch, meaning your finger is not on a capsense surface.

Can you provide(code) how you are parsing the controller hardware sample into the isActive flag?
