Am I the only one who sees guys not letting vinyl plank acclimate?

I did a job in Tempe last week where the homeowner said the previous installer just opened the boxes and went to town, and now the floor is buckling near the patio door. I mean, it was 110 degrees outside and the AC was blasting inside, idk how you skip that step. What's the shortest time you'll let material sit before installing?

People forget the boxes themselves can hold moisture from the warehouse. I always open them up to let the air hit each plank, does that change your timeline?

That's just asking for warped boards.
