Honestly, I think his Semblance just randomly flares up on its own, rather than being literally constantly active. If it was actually active 24/7, it would be impossible to do anything around him. The Mistral rental house survived multiple weeks of him living there. The worst thing we were aware of happening was a coffee table breaking because he put his foot on it.

And then there are passive Semblances like Yang's, which only do their... uh, function? in reaction to certain stimuli - in Yang's case, getting hit.
