Is there any way to disable the automatic RTH function when running a hyperlapse? The drone automatically returns to home so prematurely - 1km from home with 45% battery remaining, seriously?

What initiated the RTH?  Did you review your logs?

14m 17s        15.1 m        0 km        Tip        The remaining battery is only enough for RTH. Return home now.
14m 26s        15.1 m        0 km        Mode        Mode changed to Go_Home
14m 26s        15.1 m        0 km        Tip        Low Power. Aircraft is returning to the Home Point.

Battery was at 45% and around 800-1000m from home point - retarded.

Turn off Smart Return to Home in the battery settings.

I would try another battery for the same mission.  Could be a battery issue.

It's not a battery issue. This happens every time I run a hyperlapse with all 4 batteries

Ok, weird!
if it would be 500m, and you hyperlapsing in 50-100, the bird would need some time to get to up to it. And later land from that height.
How about you fly your bird 1klick away, wait till you get down to 70, 60% batt, and force a RTH?
To  find out, how long the RTH mode would need, and how much battery it would use.
What is the default DJI setting for the Mavic 2, when (in batt %) should the bird, in a battery-RTH scenario, be in landing height at the HP?
