I read up on the milestones regarding surviving X sols on extreme weather planets and am aware that you are able to stand in a building, safe from the extreme external conditions while you twiddle your thumbs waiting for the milestones to hit. However, shortly after starting the wait, I realized that your life support drains despite being in a building that regulates all conditions.
Does anyone know an estimate for how long the life support module lasts in a regulated environment and how much each upgrade would affect this time?

Life support is a part of your Exosuit, and its purpose is to keep you alive.
It's easier to understand if you think of life support as some kind of device that keeps you fed and hydrated, while your suit protects you from radiation, acid rain, and extreme temperatures. Even while indoor, you still need to eat and drink, thus life support keeps draining.
Some environments can make your life support drain more quickly than others, but there is no way to prevent it from draining at all.
