How do I stop heating the bed during a filament change?
I have 2x Prusa I3 MK 3's (S, S+), and the bed heats up during a filament swap. This is not intuitive, not helpful, and I just failed another print because I didn't clean the bed because it was too hot. The bed was dusty, so the filament didn't stick.
I generally like the filament change process in the firmware, save for the bed heating up. It's better than the manual controls on my Ender 3's.

This is important, because I'm over 30 minutes into waiting on the bed to cool down enough to where I can clean it.

Clean it before the filament swap.

I've been looking for a way to turn the bed heating off during filament swap as well. It's just a waste of time and power since there's no need for it. Hoping someone can provide a useful answer. If it's not possible to turn off, what's the reason behind heating the bed?

I wouldn't worry about it, I'm not aware of anyone having a failure related to this.
If your swapping filament aren't you likely to be printing, which requires you to heat up the bed? If you're not going to print why swap the filament?
