2017 Fit having random electrical problems

Have been having problems with the battery randomly going dead. Started about a year ago. Had new battery installed by AAA, seem ok but then problem started again in a couple months. Went to my usual garage (not a Honda dealership) they did a check and said the battery was testing bad so I called AAA to replace the battery. When they came out and tested it tested fine. I thought maybe the problem was that I always keep the lights on ‘auto’ so I turned I turned the switch to off and didn’t have any problems for almost a year. Just a couple months ago the light came on saying the battery in the key fob needed replacement. Then I started having the random dead battery problem again. Replaced the key fob battery and the problem seemed to be resolved. Battery was dead again two days ago. Jumped easily but dead again this morning. Jumped again and went for a long ride to make sure it’s charged. It did restart so I went to bed. Looked out the window in the middle of the night and the interior of the car is all lit up. Go out to check it and try to start the car. It does start but when I turned it off I waited for a few minutes and the car dashboard and radio suddenly power back on with some electrical cracking. Any ideas what this problem could be? I did see where some Fits had ignition button issues.
