Is there any truth, or benefit that one should let the battery rest (i.e for a few hours) before charging where possible?

Obvious it would not be convenient in situations where you need to charge at a stop off, in order to continue your journey.
But in other instances, where you come back from home after a long trip then this might be different. However, if you arrive home from a low soc (i.e. just below 10%) then naturally i would think its best to charge asap to get it back up above 20% or so?

Curious what the general benefit is for letting the battery rest after a drive before charging; and if this something you one should aim to do even in the scenarios of arriving home at a low soc (10% or low etc)?

Cheers
