Given Starlink is meant for remote areas, I think this is a little concerning for the business case in some locations, such as Australia.
I would assume this is not ambient temperature of 122 degrees F (or 50 Degrees C), but the temperature on the dish itself, i.e. if its in the sun, this likely isn't that hard to hit in many locations. Then they don't restart until 40 Degrees C.
I remember news stories trying to fry an egg on concrete during the Stampede in Calgary, I figure that must of been above 50 Degrees C?

Dishy will go into thermal shutdown at 122F and will restart when it reaches 104F."
