OP that sounds excessive drain on the battery. You have lost one third of the capacity in 6 weeks???
Something must have been running apart from pinging the car. That is equivalent yo driving the car nearly 100 miles?
I left mine for 8 weeks at an airport, and while the 12 volt battery died, the main battery had lost only 2% during that period.

I agree that the OP's car is draining too much and if no third party accessory then I would take it to the dealer

BUT let me chose between 2% HV battery loss with a dead 12V and a 20% battery loss with a fully charged 12v and I'll chose the latter every single time.

Nothing worse than arriving late night after a tiring trip + flight and finding your baby inoperational to get home.

Agree on that.
Even more fun when you are down on your knees in a tight spot to try to connect the booster to open the bonnet. The parking guard was not amused to see that at midnight! ?

Just returned to my 22’ Taycan after an 8 week trip. HV lost 1% over the period. Checking the app, it stayed at 48% for the first 6 weeks and only in the 7th week saw the single percentage drop. 12V went from 13.5V to 13.2V. I had checked the app 1-2 times a week and in the last 2 weeks installed the iOS widget so the frequency may have been a bit higher. I was worried a bit because the app status would never connect and be either gray or red dot but the SOC still seemed to update fine.

Meanwhile, the Taycan’s gas guzzling garage mate’s 12V battery did not fair so well and needed a boost.

This is hard to reconcile with my experience.People theorized that checking the application might be responsible for the significant loss in my HV battery this obviously not the cause of the loss.So what is?I am stumped
