Checkov exits with status code 1 By Design in case it found misconfigurations.
With no API key and no severities in the findings the --soft-fail flag works. The --soft-fail-on with severities will only work with an API key.
If you use the api-key, you may want to use soft-fail-on or hard-fail-on to fine tune exactly which cases cause the Checkov scan to return a pass or fail result as detailed in this link here.
 

The bc-api-key is your :

<PRISMA_ACCESS_KEY>::<PRISMA_SECRET_KEY>

To generated new key go to Settings > Access Control > Access keys > Add new Access key and use the values.
