I cannot find any of the fuses in the front fuse panel that are switched. For my dash cam I ended up running a wire from the rear fuse panel to get switched power. I have not figured out how to get the power there yet. I guess your model is different.
That is interesting because I see there is only 2 years difference between your car and mine (a 2019), but who knows what the folks at the design center do from year to year. What about picking power from the "cigarette" lighter in the cockpit, it should only be powered when the ignition is on and it is close to the firewall, surely there is a grommet in the firewall that has wires or cables passing through it, normally there is enough room to pass one more small wire through.
Not sure here is the schematic from AllData which shows that there are a bunch of fuses that are on the N.O. output of the Ignition Main Relay. I attached a light to those fuses and they all stayed energized long after the car is off. I must be missing something. I would prefer not to try to feed a wire through the firewall. I did that with my C6 for an amplifier wire and came within millimeters of doing some real damage to a wiring harness. Anyhow I will keep on trying. Thanks
Here is the fuse box.
Maybe I will try one of those 3 way fuses. I saw somewhere that someone used one for a purpose like this. I really dont know how those work. I know you can get a tap for those too. Unless this schematic is wrong, the power to those fuses should be off when the ignition is off.

On the three way tap fuses the center is power in the out board ones are fused power to load circuit. On my 2019 the F31 fuse I used is for heated seats, on the schematic you show the f31 is for fuel pump driver control module. Looks to me like either fuse 48 or 51 would be a good choice, they should be switched on only if the ignition is on, ,I would look at fuse 51 L5.
