Heat,on too much?

[NealW]

Cold weather coming to Ohio. I’m new to Nest wanting to learn. 
Biggest question is the Nest is set to 69F for Comfort. Display screen show temperature at 69 and heating to 69 which continues to heat for 30-60 minutes beyond that reading. Why is that? Display is rounding the temperature from the sensor?

Outside temp overnight around 20F. Sleep set to 67. Heat pump ran 4 hours straight overnight till I changed it to 66. With colder temperatures coming this week, I’m concerned about costs with it running so much. On 1/5/2024 it ran for 18+ hours. 

Thoughts? I’ve reduced Comfort to 69 and reduced Sleep to 66. Seems to help slightly. 

Thanks, Neal
