Heat loss at low battery level

Hi all, I just did my first long road-trip in my i4. While it went ok, I noticed something a bit alarming. As I got down around 20-25% battery, the climate control started to only blow cool air, even when I turned up the temperature. Is that something I should have expected? Is it a result of the battery preconditioning for the fast charger? Or is it potentially a coolant issue?

(Sidenote: I had the coolant changeover valve issue, but have already received a new valve.)

I posted an answer in the other forums. For my car, I can get heat down to 10% soc (probably lower but never have I gone lower so I don't know). Also the mode the car was in also affects this, Eco Pro vs Comfort/Sports. Other wise, there have been multiple people who had the coolant valve changed, have the heater fail shortly afterwards so if it continues, I would take it back to the dealer.
