Generally you don't need to adjust it and shouldn't adjust it at all. If you reduce the bed temp there is the likely hood that the print may come unstuck from the bed. Especially if you turn it off.
Having the temp to high on parts with low overhangs can cause them to be ugly.
Have high temp at the start help bed adhesion. but if you need low temp there are still ways to make sure the parts are going to stick.
I never adjust mine and don't need to, If you have the correct settings then there is no problem.
Don't worry about leaving it on during a long print, It wont harm anything, But if your worried about running costs then find another hobby

Dont turn the heater off... Most probably your print will pop off the build plate if you do so...
There might be an idea in having the bed be a bit warmer in the beginning to get a really good adhesion (but i dont know), and then reducing it after a few layers, to prevent elephants foot
