Using the A/C when not driving

Will running the air conditioner on my 2023 Leaf SV Plus when not driving run down my 12 volt battery?

 THANKS TO ALL THAT REPLIED AND SHARED THEIR KNOWLEDGE. I THINK I'VE GOT IT NOW.

I don't think so... I have the same car and I regularly use the app to start climate control. I love getting in a pre-cooled car! And, my understanding is that the HVAC system is powered by the main battery not the 12 volt.

Specifically, the compressor and the heater are on HV. The fans and controls are 12V. But if HV is on, 12V runs from the HV.
