Hi Estarm! Depending on how many stars you receive for passing a node, the following actions will be available to you:

• If you got one star for passing the node, you can continue exploring it to receive more stars or pass it again from the very beginning. Please note that if you start exploring the next node, when you return to the current node, you will start exploring it again from the first chamber.
• If you got two stars for passing the node, you can pass it again to improve your results and receive three stars. You need to return to the Floor screen and select the node again. In this case, you will start exploring it from the first chamber.
• If you got three stars for passing the node, then you are taken back to the Floor screen and can select the next node for exploration. In addition, the auto mode becomes available to you for passing the current node again.

Have a wonderful day🤗

Thanks to you all for taking time to respond. Looks like my initial assumption was right - so at least I'm no worse off😂.

If I can't get 3*  at any time I use auto runs on my highest 3* level until I can upgrade my hero and/or gear then try again. 

Good luck all.

Hello,

There is no specific drawback put something aside for lost time except if you care about the quantity of losses displayed in your saint's details. To the extent I have seen proceeding or not has no effect to the coffer of remunerations given for passing a hub.
