If not due to lack of use , short stop / start journeys , faulty battery , you should check alternator charging rate when loaded . If all o.k you then need to check for a parasitic drain .
Another possible cause that has appeared with a lot of vehicles is when the keys are kept in range of vehicle they can still be transmitting and not allowing certain systems to shut down as they should after 10 mins or so

Battery & Alternator checked and OK. A parasitic drain has been suggested: the problem is finding its source.

A parasitic drain test should identify the source / cause
