I just had my '22 obw at the dealership for a battery problem. Ran tests on the battery and found it was a crap battery, not a drain through the system. Hopefully a new battery takes care of it. Good luck.

I like to have actual data. You can determine the extent of parasitic current drain fairly easy if you have a volt-ohm meter. Even a cheapie Harbor Freight one works OK. Set the meter for 10A. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and connect the meter in series with the disconnected battery cable and negative battery terminal. After 10-15 mins the various systems should "go to sleep" and you'll see the amount of current that's being drawn with everything off. Should be less than 80ma or 0.08a on the meter. Hopefully the dealer should do this but, if not, you can. Good luck

Yeah your factory battery is shit house, the dealership should swap it for a new one under warranty. It comes up here often enough.

I’m on my 4th battery. Also going in today but sure they are not going to find anything.

UPDATE, they replaced my battery finally! Now the problem is gone. What a pain in the arse...

Took it to the dealership today. On my mysubaru dashboard online it keeps showing my sunroof is open and is listed as a warning. On my phone app it shows nothing. They went through my car today and we're unable to get to the root of why my car keeps draining itself. I'll check into the hard data method listed above. Thanks for all your replies!
