Could that be that:
- the battery was not completely charged?
- the reader malfunctioned in Stanby, say it was not in Standby but in On mode?
I would try to charge it to 100% and leave it in standby for some time. Probably would switch it on once a day to monitor the battery state.

I've started such a test yesterday evening:

So far, everything seems perfect. But of course I don't know, when the battery in those 4 days has been drained. Whether it was linear or a sudden drop.
Most users in this thread agree: It should be way more than 4 days, somewhere between 10 to 15 days.
In other threads, users of BeBook Neo (= Onyx Boox) for example widely confirm the 3 to 4 days and kind of accept it. If 3 to 4 days would be the usual, I'd find that kind of odd. But I don't want to turn off my readers. Usually I don't plan to not using it for weeks, it just happens.
BTW: The reader definitely has been fully charged. I always charge more than 1 reader at a time. And I charge it over night = plenty of time.
