Default Virtual Cockpit anomaly

Just got my first Audi - 2017 A4 and loving it!

In the 'Energy consumers' tab of the 'Onboard computer' screen of the VC, the 'Air conditioning' entry shows on screen whether air conditioning is turned on or off. When I turn the unit on and off, this reflects in the usage meter correctly but I'm curious why the AC entry stays listed when the unit is off? Perhaps some aspects of the system are always engaged?

Not sure how to derotate...
The left is with AC on and the right image with AC off. All other "energy consumers" only show on the list when active.

Just for kicks - here are some photos of my baby.
This is the most fun I've had with a new car in a long time (since my '08 335xi manual).

If you look at the gauge it's at zero. Still odd it shows the word AC. Probably a software bug.

Was the AC off but your fan was running?

I believe at the time the fan was also off - I'll verify this.

Yes, moonlight blue, beige, gray oak...
I ordered a cuvee silver, they got in the wrong vehicle - I like it better!
It's a color best appreciated in person.
And got a little extra discount for my "disappointment"...
