Vampire Drain - getting worse?

[UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan]

Set proximity at home to off and you should see about 3% every 3 days or so (in mild conditions). Overall, the issue has been both worse and better, up and down. I think it’s result of Rivian trying to find balance between consumption and PAAK responsiveness.

I am now turning off the app and using the widget to reopen the app when needed. The R1s sits in a parking lot for 8+ hours/day no need for PAAK while working. This will probably be not change anything but it is worth the try.

Previously I would lose 1 mile now I am losing 3.

I guess it depends on your viewpoint. Last winter I would loose literally 3-5% per day. This winter, it's more like 1% or less. I'm thrilled with the improvements, down to a couple miles/day.

My R1S loses as much as 5 miles a day. A true vampire drain guzzler. The loss seems to level off at 3 miles per day minimum. One thing that I have noticed is that there apparently is no way to shut down the Rivian app on my phone. That might help. No matter how many times I kill it, it comes right back to life. Cannot disable BT on my phone because I have other things running.
My other two EVs (Tesla), one loses at most 1 mile per day; it truly sleeps like a baby. The other one was suddenly losing up to 7 miles per day. Now it loses at most 3 miles per day also, but unlike the Rivian app, I can kill the Tesla app on my phone and prevent it from running in the background.
I just happen to notice behaviors like this because as an early adopter, I do keep very close tabs on my EVs stats.

It looks as if the vampire drain on my R1S is largely typical.
