PSA: My maple drawer box glue-up warped overnight

I built a set of drawer boxes from 1/2 inch maple ply, glued and nailed the corners. The shop was about 65 degrees and I used Titebond III. Woke up this morning and every single box had a noticeable bow across the front panel. I think the plywood core was holding moisture that released unevenly against the glue line. Has anyone else had plywood move like this right after assembly? What's your go-to method to stop it?

Did you let the plywood acclimate in your shop first?
