Nowhere. I log the mAh number (battery.reporting.current) and after night (say 8 hours) I calculated the difference (let's say 1200mAh-800mAh=400 mAh). Then I divide the difference by the time e.g. 400mAh/8h -> 50mA. That's average current for the past 8 hours. And since I did nothing else (except slept

), it tells pretty well the idling current for the given scenario.
