It would help a lot if you specify the make and model of your drone.
A few more elaborations of your query would help avoiding misinterpretations.

Lacking adequate info from your post, I am making a few suppositions :
1. Yours is a "toy" drone. NOT a "hobby" drone. If it's a hobby drone, please ignore everything I say from here on.
2. Yours is a GPS drone.
3. When a GPS drone loses connection with the controller, it will automatically go up to a "certain altitude", then it will fly back and land on to where it was launched.

Your question is : how to make the drone go higher than that "certain altitude".
If that is actually what you are asking, try this....... ( no guarantees )
Open the drone's app > there should be a Setting option from the app> open it > see if there is a Param (parameters) option > if yes, click it > there should be an option to increase the altitude.

Hope it is of any use to you.

if your drone is commercial use or industrial use,you can consider a parachute for your drone,little expensive,but compare to the whole drone crash,its a fair price.1662020334945.png
 
there is no model. yet. I am developing my own courier drone. by following a DIY tutorial.
I got the motors, and the ESC.
now, i'm about to order the flight controller and receiver. and am interested in the interface between them.
is there an out-of-box solution, or do I need to develop my own?
 
If you add a GPS module then betaflight can be configured to return to the take off point, under the failsafe settings in the configurator tool you can adjust the timeout period and what happens when signal lost. One option being return to home, the home point determined by satellite lock position before take off which means need to wait a minute or two before take off and you see the GPS lock has been obtained or the return to home won't know where the home point is.
 
Roughly the way it works is the quad is set to fly above whatever the highest altitude is it "saw" during the GPS logged flight to avoid hitting obstacles then come back to the home lat/long and then stay level and reduce throttle so it can return to the ground in somewhat safe manor, my experience with this is limited since I only have GPS on one of my quads I fly regularly and usually fly small enough spaces that it isn't a problem but if take the quad on a a mountain adventure will definitely test that out first :D
