Default Max servo acceptable idle current

Hello
I have a CARF SU-30 that has 25 servos in it (!).
What would be an acceptable idle current draw (no controls being moved)?
Mine is drawing around 3.0 amps. I can go ahead and start trying to find out which servos may be binding, but it will take some effort to do so. Wondering if this current draw is unusual for these a plane with this many servos.
See chart.

Spikes are not an issue as all current for the motors are flowing true the Royal.
