Desiccant leaks in new X1's

I’ve seen multiple pictures now of desiccant leaks in new printers, they have all been X1’s. Is that because Bambu has a big stockpile of them and the packs are saturating while sitting in the warehouse?

I’ve got a bunch of A1’s waiting to go into production and have gotten good laparoscopically removing the desiccant pack without unpacking it, if you have a stack of them also it’s easiest to do by opening the bottom. It will leave a scar but all of my patients survived.

Addendum: If you have an A1 that’s been sitting for a year, it might be best not to invert it. The desiccant pack is still likely sitting on the bottom, but if it did leak you don’t want to spread the juice around by tipping it.
