Something is being left on drawing the power. This can also happen if the BCM starts failing..

Had a similar issue. One of the grounding wires on our C7 (near the battery) snapped / broke. It was exactly at the factory crimping point where the wire meets the metal wire terminal. It took them two days to trace down that issue but once the tech at our local Chevrolet Dealership discovered it, took him 10 seconds to "fix it."
