When it is on but not in use, there is a small current draw from the battery management system (BMS) that may eventually drain the battery. Nowhere NEAR the amount of current needed to power the motor, but enough that it would eventually drain it. When it goes to sleep, this stops until you do whatever it is you do to wake it up.
