I have a 2020 2500 standard output. After I idle somewhere for a little while maybe 15 minutes plus I notice when I start back driving the mpg when driving is way lower than normal. Can hardly get it to stay over 10mpg even when cruising at 45. If I park the truck and turn off then next time I drive it it’s back to normal. Truck has 1500 miles on it. Anybody else have this issue?

Are you basing mileage on lie-o-meter
My guess and less than valuable insight: If you notice this lower MPG after idle, this could be the function of engine run-time and miles traveled. When the engine runs and no miles traveled - the lower your calculated MPG ........maybe.
This has been a very uneducated guess.
Had this been official news and information, you would have received further instructions on where to tune for official news and information.
Repeat this has just been a W.A.G.
