contents Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with field of fractions $K$ and algebraically closed residue field $k.$ Let $G$ be a smooth connected commutative algebraic group over $K$ which does not contain a copy of $\mathbf{G}_{\mathrm{a}}.$ For each $d$ prime to $p:=\mathrm{char}\, k,$ let $K(d)$ be the unique extension of $K$ of degree $d.$ We investigate how the Néron lft-model of $G$ behaves under base change to the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K(d)}.$ Information about this behaviour is encoded in the "jumps" of Edixhoven's filtration on the special fibre of the Néron lft-model of $G,$ as well as in Halle-Nicaise's motivic zeta function of $G.$ If $G$ is unirational (e. g. an algebraic torus), we show that the jumps of $G$ are rational numbers and that the motivic zeta function of $G$ is a rational function. We also deduce analogous results for Abelian varieties with potentially totally multiplicative reduction. This answers a question of Halle-Nicaise and partially one of Edixhoven. Along the way, we answer a question of Oesterlé about the structure of unipotent algebraic groups over function fields in positive characteristic. Under stronger conditions on $G,$ we obtain rationality of jumps even for separably closed but imperfect $k.$
