My console is usually on standby mode by night and the controller there charging, when it is full charge the light on it turns off and then stop charging, I would guess it doesn't drain battery after that.

I don't use standby mode any more after I heard some people that got their systems wiped/bricked during power outages, but it turns off automatically when the controller is fully charged?

I usually charge my controller while I'm playing through a 5 meter USB extension cable. I can't recall having less battery after turning it off over night (except that one time), but I have seen it turn on with more battery life the next day, after turning it off when it was at 0 bars, and it had 1-2 bars the next day. But I think that's just a temporary inaccurate reading. Happens to my phone at times as well.

Then I don’t know, as far as I understood it the standby mode sets the system in standby for I think 4 hours (but it could be 3, doesn’t matter) during which time your controllers will charge if you plug them in. In any case if the bricking story is true then that’s also something that needs to be fixed.
