something is wrong with your vehicle or you have proximity on at home and your fob or phone is waking the vehicle frequently. you should not be losing more than ~1.5% in a 24 hour period, and definitely not overnight. Even that (based on the battery size) is a large amount of energy to just disappear ....
i specifically went into the menu when i got the car to turn off prox for the fob (since it sits in a box in a drawer in my house). i know that my phone key is connecting to the car all the time because i can see the rivian phone key notification say "Connected to Rivian" with my pixel phone. definitely have prox off at home as well since the car is always unlocked in my garage even when my phone isn't connected. i've tried toggling prox on/off and even a reboot. this really only started with the .46 update. prior to that i had no issues with phantom drain

I know that in 2024 this may be an unpopular option, by you could uninstall the Rivian app from your phone for a few days and see if that reduces vampire drain. The Rivian fob works well, and you still have two key cards to use as well if you don't like the fob. I mean that if I had 4-5% loss/day and I thought the phone app might be the culprit.. I would instantly uninstall that app at least just as a test anyway.
