Because the vehicle and the key were nearer each other than previously it meant that second stage lockdown wasn't happening, resulting in the energy management warning as well as draining the key fob battery.
Lesson learned, and hopefully this may be helpful to other owners.

Not sure about this, something to keep an eye on. The keys shut down after 40 seconds of them not being moved to prevent skimmers picking up the signal from the outside of your house. If that’s the case then your key fob battery will be running down fast too. My keys for both keyless cars are kept inside a lead lined box in the house as extra protection.
