Fully agree, 400 milliamp is not normal after the system goes to sleep, but 20 to 50 milliamp is typical. If I had access to the OEM shop manual, we would know for sure.
The last vehicle I tested was a couple years ago, my wife's 2006 GC Overland, 37 milliamps, right in line with the OEM specification. I tested that and the charging system output because she was having an issue with her battery. And it was a battery issue which I had to replace just before we got rid of the Jeep.
When I get a home next week, I will test the Camaro and share what I find.
