A door left unclosed fully, will keep the interior lights on.
But, there is a timer function that will turn them off.
This feature may not be on all years.
Battery drain needs to be fully investigated and not always try relate it to only the work just done.
Reasons: the alternator may have a shorted diode stack, the regulator may be faulty or there may be some other drain unaccounted for.
Have the battery tested for load capacity.
Winter is coming, you need everything in first class condition in very cold climates.
