TeslaFi puts a red eye on If sentry mode was on during a period, so I would be surprised if sentry had anything to do with it.
To decorrelate the TeslaFi polling period and anything that the car may be doing, adjust your TeslaFi sleep settings to 15 minutes for both 'Time To Try Sleeping' and 'Idle Time Before Trying To Sleep' - thats under settings/sleep modes. Whilst at it, also chance temperature to Celsius just in case something temperature wise if causing it to remain asleep - it doesn't look like it but its been a long time since my brain worked in F so something may be easily overlooked.
As mentioned above, resetting your Tesla password is a good thing to try if you have used other apps/services (for the moment we must assume TeslaFi is not adding to the problem as you only installed it to help diagnose an existing issue) but if you are absolutely sure that you don't have never had any other devices, apps or services (charging etc) connected to your account, you can probably skip the issue at this stage as it will set you back a bit.
At the moment, it looks like something to do with the car itself if preventing it from staying asleep. Lots of valid reasons for this, but some not. TeslaFi detects that at some point during it polling pause that the car started sleeping, but then something caused it to wake again. Hence decoupling the TeslaFi polling period from any cycle that the car may be on. That also allows for a quicker turnaround on looking at the sleep/wake cycles.
One thing worth doing if you have not already done, is doing a car reboot - both buttons on steering plug foot on brake and hold until the Tesla T disappears then reappears - its about 45 seconds.
Another thing to check and report is strength of WiFi (ideally turn it off) and whether any downloads are in progress/stuck - check on the screen of the car.
Most importantly, be patient and methodical. If it was me, I would stick initially with diagnosing with TeslaFi as its good at that and its already showing up an issue which may or may not be the root cause of your battery gain.
