Default Vented seats turning themselves off?

It's nice and warm around here, so I notice when the vented seats don't work as advertised (as poor as they are in the first place). I notice that after ~15 minutes, the suction just turns off. The three LEDs are still nice and blue, but I can clearly no longer hear the vacuum. When I toggle the switch it comes back to life. Did anyone else notice this? I realize that there's maybe one or two people on this board who have them, but still, worth a shot

Usually yes, but they go off even when I disable it right after start.

now i dont have the vented seats but my moms lexus has them, and from my observation they are linked with the the AC unit itself. meaning if i dont have the AC on the seat vents dont turn on even if i have them enabled. its possible maybe Audi does the same. Do you have your AC on auto? just tryna think of what it could be. or maybe they're just programmed to turn off by themselves after some time, do they turn back on by themselves too or no?

I have the AC always on auto, in my Audis anyway, because it works well. I haven't found there to be a pattern quite yet.
