My 2014 MBP does not have this issue and never did. I've always made sure I've closed my apps before closing the lid. However, my wife's brand new 2020 MBA has had the issue the last few days and I found out she was leaving chrome, excel, and her accounting apps opened and her battery would drain to about 60% after being high 90s the night before. I told her to make sure all her apps are closed and not running and well, this morning it went from 99% to 98%. That's just my 2 cents. It could be a software issue if it keeps occurring.

I've recently tested this too, closing most apps before closing the lid. My 2020 13" MBP has been on standby for roughly 48 hours and has drained 10%, which suggests 20 day standby with a full charge. Just seems like there are certain apps that will drain your battery in standby and it's difficult to find out which ones without experimenting one by one. It's such a hassle to close and reopen apps too.
 
Same issue here. Infuriating. On my 2015 MBP 13” - caused display adapter damage and a $CAD 700 bill.
Replaced that machine with a 2020 MBP 13” - display sleep not happening often.

Good thread to keep an eye on.

My suspicions, none definitive:
  1. iTunes remote control​
  2. Itunes​
  3. MS Teams​
  4. MS OneNote​
  5. Photos​
  6. Something else.​
Here’s hoping for a fix soon, or that I find my specific issue.

I’m now trying to get in the habit of doing a shutdown before putting in a backpack. Lame.
 
If you don't have iStat try installing it and check the graphs to see when the machine starts up while the lid is open and deduce further from there.

You can also try to disable AutoBoot.

2020 MBP13, after 2 months of use I think this happened to me as well, although the logs say it did went to sleep, I found it with a 0% charge in the morning.
Code:
2020-10-19 20:50:33 +0300 Wake                    Wake from Deep Idle [CDNVA] : due to EC.PowerButton/User Using BATT (Charge:45%) 1221 secs 
2020-10-19 21:10:54 +0300 Assertions              Summary- [System: DeclUser kDisp] Using Batt(Charge: 40)          
2020-10-19 21:10:54 +0300 Sleep                   Entering Sleep state due to 'Clamshell Sleep':TCPKeepAlive=active Using Batt (Charge:40%)           
2020-10-20 09:05:05 +0300 Assertions              Summary- [System: PrevIdle PrevDisp DeclUser kDisp] Using AC(Charge: 5)
 
I followed these instructions:

Code:
pmset -g log
log show --style syslog | fgrep "Wake reason"

And it was the advanced bluetooth setting "Allow bluetooth devices to wake this computer". I disabled all of them because they weren't needed. Laptop stays cool and dropped less than 9% in 24 hours.
