Droopy suspension, cold weather?

So, if I let my car sit for a few days, the car drops. If it’s in position 2, it will go down to something like position 1. If in position 1, it will drop, but not so much that it’s covering the top of the tires. It definitely rises when I start the car. Is this normal or the beginning of leak in the suspension? The Audi dealership inspected the car...no fault codes and after sitting for several days, they said there were no abnormalities in the height of the vehicle. They suggest that the colder weather is condensing air in the air bags causing the car to drop. Make sense?
Thanks.
Thanks.

It is normal. Same happens with tires - as air cools it "contracts" or needs less room. Last year we had minus 40 Celsius and my allroad was pretty much sitting on the ground.

i agree with both you and dealership opinion.
The day before yesterday was good weather and very warm in Japan,
i drove around 50 miles parked in evening.
Yesterday and this morning was very cold, and didn't drive at all yesterday.
Found my car slightly dropping less than 1 inch last night,
but this morning no change compare with last night.
Drove to my office early in this morning.
After my job finish late at tonight nothing height difference found.
Conclude that small dropping last night should be due to temperature.
So many times seen such as condition in past.
My car usually in summer no drop leave sitting more than 1 week.
Thanks.
