Default S8 D2 Lazy starter on hot start

Hi. I have been tootling about this weekend and had an issue Saturday where the car was slow in turning over when at normal operating temperature. Cold start was perfect but throughout the day just got gradually worse, when on the last very reluctant hot start I just took it home and dumped it on the drive.

Found this answer within a D3 thread and wondering if this could be the case?

This morning car spun over with no issues when cold but once again sluggish on hot start (made sure I was back on the drive before attempting)

I have VCDS lite but there doesn't seem to be any error codes logged, no eml on either.

Any advice on next step?
