Did you leave your lights on when you placed the ignition switch to OFF?

Sounds like you are in Battery Saver Mode. No adjustments, fixed at 8 minutes for shutoff. (Owner's Manual - Headlight Switch)

IF you have the Automatic Headlights - "Headlight Off Delay/Headlight Illumination On Approach" - option you can set the delay to 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. (Uconnect - Multimedia section of Owner's Manual)

BATTERY SAVER
To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load shedding is provided for both the interior and exterior lights. If the ignition is OFF, the interior lights will automatically turn off when:
 Any door is left ajar for 10 minutes.
 The Dome Defeat button is pushed.
 The cargo, bed, and spotter lights are manually activated by either the headlight switch or the truck bed switch.

NOTE: Battery saver mode is canceled if the ignition is ON.

If the headlights remain on while the ignition is placed in the OFF position, the exterior lights will automatically turn off after eight minutes. If the headlights are turned on and left on for eight minutes while the ignition is OFF, the exterior lights will automatically turn off.​

It's a built in option for the slower older folks so they have time to get out and in the house!

I have done this with my truck before, especially when I drive an older vehicle for a few days, then I hop in a newer rig with auto headlights.

I just switch it to "ON" and then when I'm done driving they stay on till the battery saver kicks in.

Usually I notice it after the first or second occurrence, but sometimes it takes me a trip back out to notice, "hey, they are still on way after I got done driving!"... then rotate the knob to AUTO.

Just like sometimes I still hunt for a clutch and a shifter.

Old habits I guess, or else I'm going crazy, one or the other.
