The busted thermostat issue will not cause a PPR event. A battery that cannot produce electrons at a rate to keep up with what you're doing is what triggers PPRs. Most of the methods for managing PPRs (which are symptomatic of an aging battery or a damaged cell) involve the engine being used, and the busted thermostat will definitely make using the engine less efficient and less productive. So fixing that thermostat might be a good idea.
And in the meantime, go read as many 2023 threads as you can about a code P0AFA, how to protected weak cells, and to NOT shut off the car while the engine is turning if you can help it.
