I guess you did not read the previous posts were I , and others posted losing battery power while the phone has been shut down.
I did. It doesn't change anything about how the pinephone modem powering works.
Your phone is probably broken in some way if it consumes power while off. It's not by design. All of my pinephones consume power in uA range while off (I measure it directly on battery terminals).
Or you have some very early batch (second one, I believe) that had some leakage issue, but that was quite small, and would take more than a few weeks to discharge the phone while off.
One of my pinephones started consuming 800mW while off, after I damaged it during development of the keyboard firmware a week or so ago, by shorting pogo pins. It now discharges overnight while off. So it's possible to damage the phone to exhibit similar behavior if you're unlucky. For example by laying the phone on a conductive surface without a backcover (even when it's off). You can basically short the battery that way, because one of the pogo pins is VBAT.
