Air conditioning hiccup - suddenly stopped working

Driving along yesterday morning in the rain and wind, comfort mode, motorway (UK). About 15 miles in on motorway, felt everything go really hot. Strange, as climate was set to 18 C. Set it to 16C to cool down. Checked I wasn't in Eco-Pro mode (i.e. AC deactivated) - it wasn't.

Then a few minutes later all windows started to steam up, I had to put windscreen heating to max, then after this I turned AC to max, and .... nothing. Normal air, no AC.

The AC had conked out or had a hiccup - all fans on max, barely clearing the fogging screen. Windows and rear view glass steaming up too.

Luckily I was only a few miles away to my destination so made it. Car was fine 8 hours later on drive home. Did have a slight concern that the car was going to suffer from an infamous AC failure ! Anyone else had this?

Car is a November 18 LCI Coupe.
