I thought about that too but my 4 other BC's are still holding strong for over a monthLoosing a bit over a couple of days might not even be from a leak but from the difference in temperature or air pressure.

Not really, the rate of a tiny leak like that is driven by the differential pressure (not the absolute pressure).Q: If it’s just a tiny bubble leak in a bathtub test, would it become major when at depth due to higher ATM?
It will the maker if you can give an idea of where the leak is, if they were concerned with basic trouble shooting I may be hesitant to dive their gear. If there is a zipper I would remove the bladder and test it without the cover, on the other hand since you have other gear sending it back for them to find is also a good option if they are willing to pay the shipping.I switched inflators and the hose to a known non leaking one from another wing
Unlikely.Q: If it’s just a tiny bubble leak in a bathtub test, would it become major when at depth due to higher ATM?
Why? How have you determined this? How do you define full, what pressure is full measured at?It should stay full for at least an hour. If it is leaking faster than that, something needs addressed.

Looking for a leak and verifying that the OP valve spring is not on the verge of impending failure is, for example, is a very worthwhile endeavor. But a tiny leak, MAY be completely inconsequential.
