No real damage from that.... Honestly if you store in lower temp it does more good than discharging to a "store level". iMO its good practice to not leave packs peaked if you don't plan on using them the next day... but most agree if you are going to not use the pack for a month discharge it to store level as a max length.
I always for years have pre-charged packs the night prior to racing with no ill effect on cycles or the pack.
Now some crazy 17.5t racers will want to do different things right before a race to get the packs to ideal temps with maximum voltage but that is another game all together.
