5VLED is on when powerde by Vbat

I have Nucleo-L452RE-P and want to try out battery backup for RTC.

I connected a CR2032 to Morpho connector 19 (-) and 33 (+) and when I pull the USB plug, the 5V LED LD2 remains on, although a bit less bright.

How can that be?

    By default, the VBAT is connected to VDD_MCU through solder bridge SB61 (closed by default). The CR2032 connected to VDD_MCU may lead a leakage current somehow on LD2 I guess. I suggest you disconnect VDD_MCU with VBAT by "open" solder bridge SB61 and try to see if any difference. thanks!

    I did, even before posting...
    Vbat is connected to VDD_MCU but nowhere is a connection to 5V and LD3 is connected to 5V only
