WiFi enabled and Battery drain (M6 II)

Many of the Canon cameras have the option to Enable or Disable the WiFi.

Has anyone noticed faster battery drain when leaving always the WiFi enabled ?

Even when enabled I’d assume the WiFi will go into sleep mode when is not connected to a device. In other words, zero battery utilization.

I could do a test to find out, but wondering if someone know the facts about this.
