It sounds like the LVB gets disconnected if the car is off for an hour? It seems like if it is disconnected there would be no drain on the battery, so it should be fine. On the other hand, the car does maintain the LVB even when off so it could be the LVB is low and is disconnected prior to it reaching the right charge level. Maybe there is another way to disable the car without disconnecting the LVB.
Also, there are a lot of reports regarding some cars having trouble maintaining the LVB properly, especially when it is cold. Those issues seem to take longer than a couple months to show up, but it might be an issue with your car. Here is one thread about it: https://www.macheforum.com/site/posts/329791/
There is a service bulletin for the back light staying on so you should be able to get the dealer to fix that. https://www.macheforum.com/site/posts/333154/
Glad the car is working out well for you! I definitely agree the heated seats and steering wheel are very important in the winter, especially if you are getting in and out of the car a lot.
