I would guess at about 15A per side.
But you could swap the fuse for a loop of wire and stick a current clamp around it to find out?
Why do you ask?

I just remember in the mists of time when I had a D3 I did the webasto gsm mod so I could ring the car to fire up the FBH. The diaper had a second output and I looked into it operating the heated front screen. I had a yellow top in the second battery slot and I remember being concerned it wouldn’t be big enough to last the duration of the heated screen cycle.
I was just talking to a mate last night about it as he was thinking of doing the same.
