Periodically for a period of time after locking the car will wake up and check/re level the air suspension using the big reservoir at the back of the car for topups. I think this goes on for 10 hours or until the pressure in the tank is lost. The air compressor does not run, but several ECUs are powered up during the process.

I have intermittent battery issues, but I am putting that down to lack of use, I usually take out more on my short journeys that I put back in. I did some testing and found that after switch off and before the car fully goes to sleep it draws around 10 amps before it finally drops to almost nothing.
