I just verified that obd dongle drains at most 50 mA which at 12V over 4 days is like... 50 Wh. Sounds like some completely irrelevant amount of power in context of draining entire car battery. If anything, it could be related to some in-car electronics remaining running due to presence of obd dongle but for sure not dongle by itself :/

Oh... What is "Toyota way" of installing parking dashcams in such case? Hook up directly to fuse?
I doubt I'll have occasion to leave this car in garage for 4 days any soon haha
For now Subaru took battery and claimed they'll recharge it and diagnose if it's working properly. So I'm waiting till Monday for verdict. Just wanted to seek for source of issue before I'll have to run again to Subaru service with dead battery.
