My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
I'm seeing some bonkers spikes of off-use vampire drain lately. Seems to be recent - last couple of weeks or so. Definitely past few days.

Note:
1) Doors locked
2) Nothing attached to seat belts
3) Inconsistent - comes in spikes, see below for example
4) Gear Guard is using very little
5) HVAC is using very little
6) This seems to be entirely the car and onboard compute

The worst example was last night, losing .9kWh in 40 mins, and 2.6kWh overnight (10 hrs). The truck was in my driveway, no one was around or in it, PaaK out of range, etc:

If you have a way to look, it may have been downloading or uploading a lot of data (if you approved data sharing) - it's potentially sending drive data back to the Rivian mothership, and if it's forced to do it over the cell connection (I notice that you have Wifi turned off in the screenshot), it may be taking more power to do so.

Just a guess.
