The datasheet is available from ST.com. Just search for VL53L5CX. Click on "documents" and you can get it. But some people find it faster to get the datasheet from Mouser or Digikey.
But the power consumption numbers numbers are in there.
If you run in continuous mode (60 FPS in 4x4 mode, or 15 FPS in 8x8 mode) you are going to consume:
Parameter 2V8/1V8 2V8/2V8 3V3/3V3 Unit
216 266 313 mW
The reason for the funny headings is the chip uses 2 power supplies, which can be different.
So it's not really useful for battery powered devices that run all the time.
One can of course run one range per second which drops the power down by a ton.
For this you burn 11 mw in 4x4 mode.
