Default Parasitic battery drain V50

Hi guys

Looking for suggestions on potential cause.

Story starts whilst at work car alarm goes off (parker for 4 hours), tries to unlock and wouldn’t unlock at first, then it did, tried to start car got a multitude of dash light in different orders, turned it off and various things stayed on headlights (half brightness) plus other bits.

Voltmeter showing 7 volts, jumped started car (battery 7months old)

Had several bouts of this now, not enough juice in it to even bump start it, alarm service message seen on dash, so pulled fuse, and still flattening battery, disconnected powersounder, still flatteneing battery, going to replace battery in this, this weekend and replug in see if that resolves the issue (but I doubt it)

Tried measuring amp draw without success, funny readings but I did notice the 2 small green leds on where the courtesy light buttons are located when everything should be off.
