To a point, if you are going on holiday for 2-3 weeks then all will be absolutely fine. Going for longer things could be an issue. During the pandemic my old 5GT wasn’t touched for weeks and weeks at a time, zero issues with it. Eventually after over a year off. Minor use it did come up with a battery low message but a good run one day and it never reappeared.
