Starter Battery Message

When I opened the My BMW app tonight the message below appeared. As a result I went for an impromptu 30 minute drive.

My theory is that am using Digital Key in my phone, haven’t driving in a couple of days, but I walk by my garage multiple times a day, each time which causes the car to wake up and then shut down. Which i also am made aware of because the digital key in my Apple Watch taps my wrist when the car locks. The power for this activity has to come from somewhere hence the low battery message.

After seeing that message I went for a drive. The car started fine. The message went away after 30 minutes. When I parked tonight I put the car into deep sleep until I figure this out. Now to play with settings to try to stop the unintentional waking without disrupting the convenience of the car locking & unlocking based on proximity. Or get a trickle charger for when the car is parked.
