The active leveling is sensitive to electronic noise but leveling will also fail if there any non-melted filament on the tip of the nozzle. So the printer heats both cores and the bed every time but then cuts power to all 3 while leveling is happening.
You can definitely disable the active leveling. I did it on my S5 for a month. The experience was pretty good. The feature is not build into the screen but here is a tool to do it (which is what I used on my S5 - worked well). Note that the first time you do manual leveling you should probably reboot right after as I forget now but it did something strange on the first print after the first leveling after switching to manual.

New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
