Any ideas on what that could be?
Go read your manual.

Kind of disappointed that after 3 years on the forums you don't know the answer to this question.

You know, I just asked because it popped into my head and I thought it might be relevant to the discussion.

I'm not asking you for any favors. Thanks though.

I would love to get to the bottom of this parasitic drain thing.

Fuel pump/evap system leak test.

But see mine has never even hesitated. Left it for two weeks last winter, came home, jumped in turned key, started right up first crank. That is what baffles me that some have so many issues and others not a problem.

Understand the question, but the answer you were looking for didn't fit in to the discussion of weird battery drains.

If it was a major source of drain on the battery, you'd 1) see more cases of dead batteries on this car, and 2) it'd be more of an issue across different types of cars utilizing a similar direct injection or modern evap system on vehicles.

This is actually commonly found on many, MANY cars, not just our own. It is not a source of battery drain.

I think it's pretty obvious that I don't research dying batteries or evap systems in direct injection cars during my spare time.

Oh, it's perfectly germane to everyone who also didn't know until you thought to ask.

Give no fucks.

If that draw is real, I'd guess that one of the window motors is not shutting all the way down when the switch is OFF.

I would suspect your battery is on it's last cell ...... I'd replace it.

Likewise. My 2013 FR-S (4 year old OEM battery) will go a week at a time during the winter, when I don't drive it as much, and then I may drive it only 20 miles, and it will start up with no problem.
