I have a 2016 Limited with prox key. Takes about 30 minutes to go to sleep and rest around 50 - 60ma. I also have a remote start which is about 20ma, a telematics Drone unit which is 5 - 10ma but spikes to short bursts when talking with a cell tower, and a aftermarket radio with Maestro module at around 12ma there. Dashcam also there which I havent measured but it does operate and record in an event with ignition off.
50ma should get you a week on a good, fresh battery that hasn't been drained before. Since I work from home for a while I was using a battery tender Jr with a quick disconnect cable out the front grill. I finally broke down and bought a hybrid Northstar battery from batteries+. The battery was well worth it since it's not a daily driver anymore.

Super helpful since i also have a similar set up remote start with drone mobil, dash cam that's off when not running as well as aftermarket radio with Maestro module. So maybe its the remote start/Alarm (Compustar) spikes to short bursts when talking with a cell tower that's doing it? I was in a place with no service.
I just went on a short camping trip and in the matter of 31 hours my Compustar remote start warned me my battery was low, actually almost dead. So I started my 4R and it just barely turned over, so i let it idol for about an hour to recharge just to be safe so I wouldn't get a warning again waking me up (I sleep in the 4R). Made it through the night and morning.
Now I am perplexed. I get this AGM battery for extra capacity and it does not make it through the night when my stock
non AGM would go for days. Its not like i was running anything big or for very long. Just don't get it...... Should have been fully charged since i drove 4 hours with boost for the battery. Maybe if I don't lock the doors it doesn't go into sleep mode?
