Sorry for asking such an incredibly difficult question to answer by using a multimeter on "current" setting. A range would be nice, just the M0 with no external loads running at default settings.

Current drain of the chip itself is about 5ma, depending on what it's doing. See http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/D ... 01882A.pdf, page 791 for some examples.

I have a small USB current meter gadget, which does not read lower than 10ma, and it read zero, so 5ma tests out empirically. I don't happen to have a USB breakout to make it easy to measure the current.
