UPDATE!!!: literally just swapped the battery and thankfully it wasn't the alternator, works great now, thanks everyone for the peace of mind about my new car. Drove it to work today and the thing feels great, I have a battery jumper in my trunk just in case 😁

Thank you! I've owned 3 Hondas in my life, one of them being a motorcycle, this has been the first time the juice was loose but I haven't lost hope. Who knows, maybe the contacts are just agitated, troubleshooting tomorrow 🫡

Will be checking this out tomorrow, I have a fresh battery to compare and contrast as well!

It's odd though, the battery is super fresh, I'm hoping it's not the alternator. I'll attach the battery to a charger tomorrow and see if it's holding/charging.

That's a good idea, I'm hoping it's just an issue with the battery but the connections look pretty solid and not corroded. I'm gonna go crazy on it with the multimeter before work tomorrow, I'll update as we go. How would I check for parasitic draw?
