Usually when starting my 2022 GT-PE, I hear two clicks from outside the cabin which, I assumed(?), are the high-voltage contactors engaging. Recently, I've noticed that sometimes I'll get 4 clicks in rapid succession. Is this normal?

The car has recently had CSP 23B50 done and also took a bunch of 6.x OTA updates (currently on 6.6.0) and 23-PU0722-DC-CHG3.

If the pack is close to or below freezing, the contactors will do an anti-ice routine that sounds like rapid fire clicking. Normal.
Must do the same when plugging in to charge.

Thanks! I've noticed this as well with my MME now that it has gotten cold. I've been ignoring it, hoping it was nothing :)
