As far as I know there is no altitude auto shut down for the 747-400 APU. When you start it on the ground and go into air mode apu door moves closed from 45 deg to 15 deg open and continues to operate unless of course you have a fault to cause auto shutdown ie loss of control speed (N1), N1 overspeed, high egt, compartment fire etc.
