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.

Oh, yeah 4 hours sounds like more than enough to charge the controller. Could there be an issue with leaving the controller to be charged while it's already fully charged? Maybe that can have an effect on the battery. Though I don't imagine it would cause it to be empty the next day.

Have you tested if the controller actually charges properly in standby mode? By either checking it as soon as it's fully charged, and do it a couple of times in case the problem happens inconsistently. Or start charging it normally while the PS4 is on, and then see if you get the same issue with low battery when you turn on the controller the next day.

I'm afraid I only have theories. I never accurately tested what happens when I leave them plugged in after standby mode ends (or, if the PS4's just shut down) versus what happens when I have them unplugged for the same amount of time. They do charge in standby mode, some at least, but again I never tested where they're at when standby mode ends. So yeah, I'm afraid I still only have theories.
