The effective 6 hr grace period comes in handy on many trips.

Also from the FAQ.

When you exit the parking garage, the parking system will read your booking code (QR code), check your booking details and calculate the pre-booked duration of your stay. If you have over-stayed your pre-booked time, the system will determine whether any additional payment is due. You will be required to insert a credit/debit card to pay the amount due prior to being able to exit the garage.

After I scanned the QR Code, the gate thought for a few minutes then eventually asked for a credit card for the additional charge.
My experience as well from a couple years ago. Additional charge was based on time starting from end of 2 hr grace period.
