Worried about my bird of paradise

I’m been away from home for 5 days and I’m away for another 8 days - I watered my bird of paradise fully the day I left, it’s in a lechuza self watering pot and had a full reservoir when I left. Capacity is probably 3.5 pints in the reservoir

I gave some poor instructions to my friend and they put another 4 pints in the pot today, but the soil was still damp and the resovoir was still nearly full, so I think the soil will be very saturated now!

My plant is London and there is sunlight coming through an indirect window, the temperature for the next 8 days is gonna be 26/27 degrees C in my flat

Will my plant suffer from overwatering?

I’ve had it 4/5 years and would be devastated it gets root rot - can anyone reassure me x
