Some people cycle their packs (full charge and discharge cycle) at high currents to intentionally warm them up before a race to lower the IR. It reduces the lifespan of the batteries though. There's not much point discharging at a low rate every race. I never bother with a full discharge cycle, I just storage mode them at the end of the day.
