My U1 is in my house downstairs and at the moment I can’t run it overnight as its too loud and can be heard in the bedrooms (Ikea lid mod & room door shut)
If I reduce the speed to 50% via the control panel it only stays like it until the next change of toolhead, thus would be nice to have a true NightMode/QuietMode whatever you’d like to call it where once set will stay like it until you change it again or the plate finishes printing.
So an example I start a 24hr print in the morning, at bed time I switch to the new mode & when I get up the next day I switch it back to normal mode to finish the print

I’ve voted for this not specifically for “night mode” but because it makes no sense for on-the-fly control panel settings changes to get overridden the next time there is a G-Code command. This does not only apply to print speed, it also applies to temperatures, fans (and perhaps other things I haven’t thought of).
Changes expressed in percent should apply until the end of the print (unless the user changes them again), and perhaps even until a new file gets loaded (so a reprint uses the existing settings).
Typically temperatures are set as an absolute value, but it is appropriate that temperature is controlled in G-Code – so make those an adjustment of so many ºC up or down from the command value when a print is in progress.
