Just an FYI:

https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#decrease-raspberry-pi-5-wattage-when-turned-off

reports:

QUOTE
Decrease Raspberry Pi 5 wattage when turned off
By default, the Raspberry Pi 5 consumes around 1W to 1.4W of power when turned off. This can be decreased by manually editing the EEPROM configuration with sudo rpi-eeprom-config -e. Change the settings to the following:
BOOT_UART=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1
BOOT_ORDER=0xf416
This should drop the power consumption when powered down to around 0.01W.
