Leaving OBD Bluetooth Dongle Plugged In - Battery Discharge?

I use the Veepeak OBD BLE+ Bluetooth Dongle to monitor oil/coolant/transmission/intake temperature gauges while driving via the Bimmerlink app.

Will leaving the OBD bluetooth dongle plugged in while the car is parked/off prematurely discharge the car’s battery?

I have read other users having issues where their alarm is triggered when they attempt to lock their car with an OBD Bluetooth dongle plugged in. My 2016 M235i does not do this. I would prefer to leave it plugged in for convenience if there is no risk to the battery.
