Agree that it must be thirty minutes minimum wait. Also, bonnet switch must be engaged and the car locked. Good videos on YouTube about the best ways to determine the true parasitic drain. Make sure your current monitoring meter is fused properly. I once forgot my ammeter was the only connection to the battery and unlocked the car. Resulting current surge destroyed the 10a range on that meter. It was a cheap meter fortunately.
