CIPA rates the EOS RP at 250 shots per battery charge. Ken Rockwell expects much more in practice. I am hopeless at battery life. Whereas others claim more than 1000 shots from their M5, I am lucky to get 100, and it's the same in general for me on all cameras. What do you expect you will get from the EOS RP?
How many shots per battery charge of the EOS RP will you get?

My R gets around 1000 or more, I've turned review off, not for battery life, but to speed up ability to take subsequent shots. I've never actually run the battery down, I had about 800 shots with 25% battery left, so I changed batteries to make sure it did not die at a critical moment.
I do think that the way a camera is used greatly affects battery life. My shots happened over about 3 hours or less, I had two cameras, my 5D MK IV with 70-200 and the R with 24-70 and the next night, I switched lenses around just to compare. I could not tell a difference in battery life, but I'd expect a telephoto lens to shorten the battery life. I have a USB Battery and a converter (Case Relay) which has enough juice to outlast several LP-E6 Batteries. I actually used it after the 800 shots just to verify that it worked reliably with the R. I snapped a shot of it before using it. I also had a LP-E17 adapter that went with my SL-2, I gave it to my granddaughter.
I also have a cheap 50 watt USB C Charger (~ $25) which charges my R just fine.

Hi AlanF!
Sorry, but why making a poll now out of a pure guessing game as no one has the EOS RP yet?
Only thing one could do is looking at the CIPA numbers, using some math maybe comming from the EOS R and say with normal use you'll make 1x0% of the CIPA numbers.
My approach would be:
Wait until release and then ask again.
My vote would be (missing option): "No clue!"
