Cabin Overheat Protection is only active for 12 hours after the last drive or charge.

Ohhhhhh. Bunk. Dislike.

The purpose of COP is not to keep the cabin from ever getting hot, but to keep it within reason while you're out and making stops, so that it can be returned to a comfortable temperature quickly. Thus, the 12-hour timeout.

They should change that. I sometimes would benefit from it running longer than 12 hours. They should implement a Max Battery Drain mode.

Just set a lot of scheduled preconditioning events

That's ... brilliant! I keep the truck plugged in all the time at home, but it's sitting in the sun. I like this idea. Schedule pre-condition each AM, and it'll remain under overheat protection for the day.

Actually, the original purpose of COP was safety. That's why it's under the Safety menu in the vehicle.

This was a statement from Tesla (Elon, I think) in 2016:

"In an industry-first safety measure, we're also introducing Cabin Overheat Protect, focused on child (and pet) safety," said Tesla on its website. "This feature keeps the car at a safe temperature for hours, even when the car is off. This feature is only made possible by an electric vehicle with Tesla's uniquely large battery packs."

I set mine at 90 degrees but the car reports 147 degrees in the cabin. This can't be good.

That’s happened in our x as well. Two finger salute reset resolves the problem.
