Drain on the battery when everything is supposed to be off.
Measure, trace, diagnose.
Most common is a stuck relay that keeps the AC compressor clutch engaged.
Check clutch, then tap on the relay see if the clutch lets go.
If it was stuck, replace with updated part:
Updated relay brand is MITSUBA
Updated Honda part number is 39794-SDA-A05
You must ask for this part number at your Honda dealership, most parts people just look up the original relay and don't know about the updated part.
An original part will eventually have the same issue later on.
