The air suspension seems to randomly go up and down while not moving

I notice this mostly at stop lights and drive thrus where the car is stopped, but it seems like the air suspension randomly goes up or down. I'm sure it's not random and does it for a reason, it just feels like it. Does anyone know why it does this?

As you drive faster the car will automatically lower itself. As you slow down it raises itself to the normal height. You don't really notice this normally unless you've stopped at lights etc. You can see this shown in the car height indicator on the RHS of the dash display.

Yeah I know that one and this isn't it. This feels different because I'd be at the drive thru for many minutes and I'd notice it going up or down.

They do that to level out, you will notice it most in a drive thru. All of my Porsches have done this, it is completely normal.

That was one of the theories I had in my head as to why it might be doing that. Thanks for the confirmation.
