One of the rare insightful lessons from high school: Don’t set your AC to the minimum temperature even if it’s really hot, just set it to where you want it to be.
It’s not like the air released gets colder with lower target temperature, because most ACs (according to my teacher, I haven’t checked lol) are just a simple control system that turns itself on/off around the target temperature, meaning the time it takes to reach a certain temperature X is independent of the target temperature (as long it’s lower than X)
Well is he is right about some ACs being simple on/off units.
But there also exists units than can change cycle speed, its basically the same thing except the motor driving the compression cycle can vary in speed.
In case you where wondering, they are called inverters. And when buying new today, you really should get an inverter (efficiency).

… which is embarrassingly obvious in hindsight.
