Updates are set for 1A.
I try not to be awake at that time.
Thanks for the reminder! Will be acutely aware of that moving forward
Be aware that updates that do not immobilize the truck will install at any time.

Thanks for that - did not know that
Will turn off automatic updates and just have the dealer do the updates at the 10K service interval.

Appreciate the info!

Perhaps I don’t understand the physics here
The Observer Effect in quantum mechanics states that the act of observing or measuring a quantum system can alter its behavior

Is it possible, whatever that gives you the power draw info you have posted in the thing that keeps the truck awake and draw the juice?

Data is from the battery itself - I don’t have an external sensor. The battery has a Bluetooth enabled BMS that sends out the current readings.

Circuit in the battery is probably has similar power consumption to what the rest of us stick in OBDII port. It should not do that much damage in a day. How ever it must be in series with the rest of the electronics in truck and does have some current draw. I wonder if the truck see that current, regardless of how small and think it should stay awake. Then again, if your experience is identical with other people with normal batteries, it must be something else…… keep us posted if you figure it out.
