If you mean Comet Swan...I don't have an exact figure, but night before
last it appeared to be considerably dimmer than the 4.5 of a few days
ago.

enough to ask:

About 0.017 Amperes :-)
For those looking for a different answer:
Comet C/2006 M4 (SWAN) remains brighter than M13 as of 1:50 U.T. on
the 2nd day of November. I just looked with 7x50 and 20x80
binoculars. No tail was visible. The Moon is having a heavy impact
on sky darkness.

Hi:
It's still pretty bright, but much reduced from what it was about a
week ago. Most estimates I've seen put it at about magnitude 5.4, down
about 1 magnitude from what it was. I took a look at it last night, and
even taking the Moon into account, it's obviously waned, with it being
difficult to locate in 15x70 binoculars (in my very compromised skies).
