Have you tried using your AC clamp meter?

My £10 one does the job, so yours might work

Probably dependent on what kind of range you are looking for,, do you want to measure very low current or high current. The more expensive meters will be more accurate, especially at low ranges 2010 RRS, TDV8

or if looking for a current drain, you might just be looking for a change rather than accurate value

I have the UNIT - T. UT203. Also from Amazon. About £20 if memory serves. It’s ok but like all DC clamp meters it is not very accurate. I have found about 10% depending on ripple. It’s typical of all ‘Hall effect’ devices.
