The Fiesta pcm and instrument cluster is never really "off". Neither is the anti theft module. That module on the positive cable is a voltage limiter. Power is being fed to various circuits from the battery through the limiter.
If the battery is over three years old I would be planning to get a good quality replacement like an interstate or Die Hard gold.

Perfect! That’s what I was wondering, possible small draw overnight was just normal and batter couldn’t hold enough charge so I’ll get one tomorrow. It’s 5 years old so good chance it is that. Thanks guys for the help!

Yeah. Modern cars are very reliant on a solid state for all the computerized components they come with, and it's always on.
5 years is a good run for an original battery. Mine is still going, but I'll notice when it's not.
