The only problem with that scenario is that oil left out like that will
collect dust. Best to just wash it off and start over when you need it.

Yes, you did.

The oil is fine. You store it at room temperature, don't you? Then
it will be fine in the pan, too. Of course it can collect dust and
curious little bugs may try and drink it, accidentally falling into
it. Or stuff may grow underneath it if the pan wasn't clean. Or it
may oxidize and taste bad if you leave it there for a week or three.

But considering it was what, about $.005 worth of oil, maybe you could
just rinse it out and start fresh. It's up to you.

I read somewhere dust is like 90% flakes of skin... I did just wash
the pan and reuse it. Thanks for your advice.

Luckily, my parents did not have carpet in the bedrooms when I grew
up. Allergist said I showed no signs of allergy to dust mites, but
common with people that grow up with carpeting.

Millenia. Ancient Egyptians used cheap store brand spray oil to preserve
mummies (even though they could easily afford Pam on a Pharoah's salary).

I prepare food in a pan to be fried early in the day all the time,
often the night before... got a slab of london broil already prepped
for tonight's dinner, cover the pan and stick it in the fridge.
If I left an oiled pan out it wouldn't be ten minutes before some
little tongues would lap it clean.

Hey, my sister is not cheap!

And I looked up what you referred to... and found this: "The two less
expensive forms of mummification that Herodotus mentions did not
involve the complete evisceration of the body. In a second method,
which was also used for animal mummification, oil of cedar was
injected into the anus, which was then plugged to prevent the liquid
from escaping."

So who was the genius that discovered this?
