Turn air con on again and it worked it's ring out cooling the room down, taking quite a while to get the temp down again. This was after only a couple of hours.

I think all that is happening there is the fan slows down once the set temperature is reached. I think the refrigerant pump etc is still working so the difference in power draw would be minimal.
