Not sure, but why not just go back to your car and shut it off?

Ahh, ok. That makes sense. I know that my Mini 2 controller powers off eventually so I'd think the same is applicable to the Air 2S

I'm planning to take some pictures right after work, just worried that it's going to be dead. Thanks

No problem. I'm not sure if it's something you have to set up so I might be wrong. Hopefully, it shuts down automatically.

"will it auto shut off", I think it is likely that it will.
From memory, if left unused, the controllers of the Phantom 3, Mavic Mini, Mavic 2 P/Z do and the controller for the FPV does (just tested the latter).

I'm pretty sure the Mini 2 and Air 2S controllers are identical. I haven't left mine on long enough for it to power itself off. But I also don't think the controller battery discharges all that fast if you aren't actively using it.

You should prepare for it to be dead,
I left my SC on and when i came back hours latter I was down to 1 bar.

The SC is likely different. My Mini 2 controller powers off if I go to the bathroom and come back. So long as it's not connected to the drone.

Yeah or drained enough to be really careful with RTH settings.
Don’t you have a small power bank you can take in and pop the controller onto charge first thing in the morning, ready for after work ?

Or maybe charge in the car.

It beeps as a warning and then turns itself off. No problem leaving it on.

It shut down and it was still fully charged, thanks everyone

Nice, someone who reports back and with a good conclusion.
