Mine has done about 8500 miles and its saved 100 miles in fuel. Why? Because I let it get on with it instead of interfering with a system that has a bit of respect for the environment. I don’t consider myself a tree hugger but I know we can’t go on wasting fuel and destroying the atmosphere.
With regard to the OP’s question, I believe mine did a similar thing and it is due to various valves preparing to shut down. I’m sure I read it somewhere but can’t find it in my bulletins.
Engine issue
Exactly. These are not gimmicks, they are expensive to develop and install and it’s done to push the emissions inside the legal requirements.

I’ve noticed over the last week or so that the istop no longer works if the headlights are on....weird.
This topic is not related to i-stop, however in answer to your queries, anything that draws power from the battery whilst the engine is off is prone to shorten the i-stop engine off period. This will be particularly noticeable if the battery charge is already a little depleted (from short journeys for example).
