If charging is going to take more than 30 minutes you should turn off auto turn off timer. If the charger turns off it well go to accessories mode.
This! Be careful when leaving a pet in the car when charging. I got one of these for the times I leave my pup in the car.

If the car goes to accessory mode for whatever reason and the AC turns off, I'll get an alert when the temp starts rising. I usually don't leave him in there for more than a few minutes for a restroom break or grabbing food. I've never had it happen, but there's always a chance a charge fault will kick it into acc mode.
