I think that it has some bug in the software too. In my case when it happened after LC on a wet road it was constantly reducing the power even when the road was dry as it was thinking that the car will spin the tires. I was able to run the car faster without LC than with it. It become normal after turning off and on the car as it I think it recalibrated. Probably LC is measuring outside temp, whether it was slippery or not and try to adapt to the conditions to give you the best launch. When you once used it whe it was wet it can have a bug and it thinks that it is wet all the time
