Default Remote feature disabled to save battery

Old topic but my truck has been fine for 1 year +, it used to notify on the 4th - 5th day parked. Recently it has been notifying on the next day parked consistently. Don’t know if it’s some kind of OTA that changed something and she start to draw more power when parked.
drove 400 kms yesterday, checked soc to be 83%
just got notification now (24 hrs later) that remote feature is disabled to save battery
measured again soc is 41%
did some math, 70ah factory battery, it sucks 30ah every 24hrs. That’s insane.
At this rate, I don’t think getting a bigger battery will be of any help at all.
30ah can hold my boat at spotlock for 2 days….
to answer some common questions, I don’t have proximity key or zone lighting, base xlt truck.

Typically this message occurs when the battery SOC (State of Charge) gets low. I would probably start with disconnect the battery for 5 minutes to let it reset and see if the concern returns. If the concern is still present you’ll want a max load on your battery for max charging. This will be max AC, low fan speed, and headlights on https://tutuapp.uno/ .

How old is your battery? It may not be holding a charge if it's going bad.

12.25 volts is low for an AGM battery.

I have a dash cam that monitors while the vehicle is parked. If I don't drive the car for a few weeks, I start getting that message. I should disable the parking monitoring while not driving for a bit....

I charge the battery with a battery tender which solves the issue.

My truck needed a new battery after a year. They replaced it under warranty. It's been fine for the past 2.5 since then. Load test the battery and don't relay on cheesy Chinazon testers.
