System mode = INFO
root@MacBook-Pro /tmp # log config --mode "level: debug"

AFAIK the off level only works if you target a specific process or subsystem. You can’t turn the log off globally.

Having said that, you should definitely file a bug about this. If an option doesn’t work, it shouldn’t be silently accepted. Notably, if you do the same thing for the persist key you get an explanatory error:

% sudo log config --mode "persist:off"          
log: Ignoring some flags 0x410000 because they are process/subsystem only

Please post your bug number, just for the record.
