What should have been engineered but wasn't ...

For some reasons my 992 tts (my22) does it. Although, not immediately after turning off the engine. In my case, the smart FAL lifts the car at the entrance of the underground garage in my building, I turn off the car but often forget to lower it. The next morning I always find the car lowered. In fact when I turn it on, FAL automatically raises it again (I can hear the noise of the car being lifted).

I think that’s the concern…should not sit all night, or hours, it the raised position. I doubt that doing so, a few times, won’t cause any permanent damage, but the prudent thing to do (per the manual) is to lower the car when finished driving.
“Instead of being pneumatically based, the front axle lift system in the new 911 is electro-hydraulic. An actuator located on the spring strut does the heavy lifting when fluid is transferred via a hydraulic pump, through pipes, that run to the actuators. As noted above, the front axles lift system increase ground clearance at the front spoiler by 40mm, or 1 1/2 inches, while at the same time increasing the approach angle by about 3 degrees. Anyone that’s ever tapped their front spoiler knows this extra clearance can be a savior with big speed bumps or steep access ramps to curbs, garages and parking lots. Once engaged, using a button on the center console, the front reaches its full height in about 5 seconds. You can engage the system at speeds up to 20 mph, once over that your Porsche’s front axle will lower to its normal ride height automatically.”

IMHO, put a reminder somewhere and lower it before shutting the engine off

When I leave my phone plugged into CarPlay on my wife's Audi, the nice lady (not my wife) gently reminds me that I have left my cell phone in the vehicle. I am 99.99999% sure Porsche could do the same with a nice "You have left FAL in the raised position" message.

Yes they could….would be a nice feature to have.
