Battery Drain

Hey,
My battery's been draining for the last two day when left parked and I think there's something draining it.
First off, I used a clamp meter to measure the current draw, should I be using it (because I felt like it was in accurate for low current values as its meant for higher loads)?
I checked for the voltage between the fuse terminal and ground, where I saw that there was a 12v reading between the fuse for INT light and ground. Is this normal?
The voltage between the two terminals is 12.9V
The voltage when the car is on is 14.6V
​​​​​​
Thanks in advance,
Allen

The light switches switch ground so, yes normal.
