M3 not sleeping

Agreed - this is mine from the last 3 days
First update is 2022.4.5, second is 2022.4.5.3. Car is not plugged in, Tesla App (iOS) is active on my phone but I haven't opened it. Note I don't have IO - migration has started as I "showed an interest" when they called up a while ago, but since the rates are way higher than m y current Go pricing, I'm not charging yet so have never connected my car to the Octopus App.
Your car certainly shouldn't be waking up every hour like your picture shows. That sounds like the behaviour others have described for IO when it is active and checking if the car is plugged in when it is not actually plugged in to an active charge port. If you haven't already, forcing IO to disconnect by changing your Tesla password might be worth a try.

Did you book via the app or by calling support? For mine, I called support as I wasn't sure what was going on and the guy on the phone was able to look at the logs then and there and see the ECU issue from the logs.

Over what time period?
If it's just a few days ie since the start of the post on Friday then I would leave it at least a week and see if it continues, I also assume the car is being left unplugged?
Over the past year using the statistics on Tesla mate I can see there have been a few days where it stayed online more often, most likely for some sort of self maintenance or something. Unless the problem persists beyond a week I wouldn't be concerned about short term fluctuations in sleep/online status of the car.
They'll blame it on Teslamate*, so don't mention that straight away. I presume Intelligent Octopus no longer has access to your car since you changed your password?
* Or any third party apps. Hence why changing your password is usually their first port of call.

I suspect in order for IO to work it wakes the car during these periods but if it does actually make you lose 4% a day then its rather annoying.
To rule it out I would have thought just leave the car unplugged for a few days.
Yes, will try all options.
The wake up for 20 mins every couple of hours are reasonable (maybe?).
What annoyed me was that car was always awake for almost a day which should not be the case.... Anyway, need to observe more
Nope. That'll drain your battery quite quickly. I certainly wouldn't leave my car at an airport if it was waking that much. Hopefully stopping IO should show quite quickly any difference given the frequency of your online time.
Now checking if that is the reason. There's a thread that IO might cause this
most cars, mine included, seem to sleep for 24 hours, then wake for 30mins, then back to sleep. (approx)
Imagine it's to check/charge the 12v battery.
More than this (i imagine) would not be normal.
That shouldn't make any difference unless it doing a lot of updates - which it appears not to be doing. Have you managed to check if there has been any difference since IO was removed?
