Good on you. It’s not often I have to mention the cool down period, but when I do, most CAs are willing to respect it.
And the 2/5 minute thing is why I don’t personally put much stock in OET, unless it will be a KNOWN long time (JFK, LGA, etc.). I cannot recall a time I have ever taken off and violated the 2/5 minute warm-up time. Probably a rare occurrence.
Just like many CAs won’t reset the brakes at the gate for a few extra minutes of block time, because it is against the SOP.
