That said, I do remember entering the domestic garage once in the past year where I had to immediately exit (I chose the wrong entry gate for a prepaid booking; apparently only a limited number of them were equipped with QR code readers at the time) and I wasn't charged using the same ticket that I pulled when entering. Although I was probably in the garage for less than 2 minutes then.

But if it is 10 minutes, that's more than enough time for a drop-off. Plenty of time for a pick-up as well, as long as the driver doesn't have to wait for passengers to arrive and/or wasted time trying to find meeting point.
I got out for free a couple weeks ago.

The loop was a gridlocked mess, and I was so glad I chose to park in the garage instead. Better than any other option apart from telling your passenger to head to Int'l terminal, which is not always going to be desirable/viable.
