[Ovmsdev] OVMS Power Drain?

Cars now often do not provide live process data frames on the OBD port's
primary CAN. You may have an auxiliary CAN bus there, e.g. for
infotainment communication, that may provide live frames. But you may
not be able to detect a charge session from these.
A very simple approach is to monitor the 12V level. For example on the
UpMiiGo, if it rises to around 13V the car is recharging the 12V
battery, if it goes to 14V or higher, it's fully awake for a drive or
charge session. We used that approach until I found PIDs we can poll
without keeping the car awake.
If you didn't do so yet, try polling without a tester presence or diag
session.
Also try polling low priority / auxiliary PIDs instead of the actual
status PIDs, i.e. PIDs that do not carry crucial system state data.
You may also need to keep the polling frequency below some threshold to
avoid the keep-alive trigger.
