Aircon After rapid charging?

Thought the aircon had broken on my dolphin surf (aka Seagul/Atto1) as it was hardly cooling the cabin at all, but I think it's related to rapid charging as after about 30mins it started working again. So i'm not sure if it's a problem or it's just being diverted by the BMS to cool the battery after the rapid charging session.

I suspect I was going quite hard on the battery as it was a fairly long journey with most of it at highway/motorway speeds.

So Now i'm not sure if it's a fault/low gas pressure or if it's just normal as no errors were displayed or anything.

is it worth nicely removing a gen1 dish vs just cutting the cable?

I have a gen1 dish mounted on a pole at roof height from when i used to have starlink that I might see if I can get taken down next time I have a tradesperson on the roof.

just wondering if it's even worth trying to remove it nicely given that would involve unclipping the cable from the wall and feeding it all back through the original hole or just cutting it given if I did ever want to re-subscribe to starlink again I could probably just get a newer dish.

Reason it's no longer used is first 5G came to the area and was considerably cheaper and then a couple years ago they finally put FTTP in.

Hogging an A/C post at a services?

Just wonder what other people think about leaving the car on an A/C post overnight (if staying at the hotel) its going to finish charging in the early hours of the morning.

Gridserve have confirmed there's no policy their end against it, and I wouldn't dream of doing it on a rapid but I figure the A/C slow charger (I think its either 11/or 22kw) is fair enough to do that.

There is another A/C port so there's still some availability and I would think most people stopping at an MSA would use the DC chargers anyway.
