Timing of Racking for a Lager

[aardvark]

I recently brewed an Altbairisch Dunkel and we made a little mistake. Instead of racking to secondary at the end of the diacetyl rest phase, we dropped the temp by 3 degrees per day, down to 34 while the wort was still in primary.

I don't see this as a real problem, but could it be?

No problem. I always chill my lagers down to 34 in the primary before racking them into a keg.
