Similar to deals from before deal1 and deal2. Thanks to @Zapwap and @sween64.
Booked today for 8:30am to 9 am. I reached the gates at 7:40am and scanned the QR. Exited the car park at 9:50am.

According to their T&Cs(melbourneairport.com.au) No. 6 & 10 (under Arrival and Exit section), you can get a one-hour grace period either side.
For an online booking for less than 4 hours, you may arrive up to one hour before your booked entry time. If you arrive any earlier than one hour before your booked entry time, you will be charged the drive-up rates for that Car Park (noting that these rates may vary from the rates quoted via the online booking system) and you will not be entitled to a refund or credit on those charges. Melbourne Airport’s drive-up rates are available at https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/drive-up-rates
For an online booking for less than 4 hours, there is a one-hour grace period for exit after your booked exit time. If you exit more than one hour after your booked exit time, you will be charged the drive-up rates for that Car Park (noting that these rates may vary from the rates quoted via the online booking system) and you may not be entitled to a refund or credit on those charges. Melbourne Airport’s drive-up rates are available at https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/drive-up-rates.
Also, previous deal said 3.5 hours, if anyone did recently then do comment.
There is also waiting areas when you can wait ! before picking up your fav cousin. https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/melbourne-airport-wait-z… . this costs $0
So they actually raised the 30mins price from $8 to $12?
