Early morning flights will be a lot cooler, depending on where you are located. Otherwise, a two hour Thai massage is a great way to spend any cancelled drone time.

When you take off and land, just head straight upwards without going forward, so folks don't hear/see the drone from your building. That drone is fairly quiet after a certain distance in the air, so it won't attract a lot of attention. What borough/postal code are you flying from if you don't...

Sounds like you need two separate drones. Very fortunate that you have these opportunities. Don't restrict yourself with one drone...

How long are you waiting? It sometimes takes a while to get full Sats. especially in a tower. Do you have more units above you? You can also place the drone on a taller box instead of the balcony floor to get quicker reception and avoid any metallic interference.

That is an obvious given for most. But he asked about slightly swollen, and it recedes quickly. Swollen can vary extensively.

Which is a good thing to do. Remember, there are different types of swelling. The 5 batteries I alternatively use over several years have slight swelling from time to time and that is dependent on weather and how hard I work the drone. The swelling has not made it hard to remove from the drone...

Contact DJI and ask them about the batteries. If it is very slight swelling after flying, and settles down shortly afterwards, then you should be okay for a bit longer. Don't charge when swelled and hot. Never charge them unattended. DJI should guide you to the correct action instead of second...

Really? Like gain of function that messed up the world...c'mon.

... or better yet:

Don't wear a dorky vest. Folks can spot fakery a mile off. You won't be fooling anyone.

Are the sensors clean?

I find that hard to believe. You must be flying IFR...
