It’s fine to do that, you can add more vías to it
Is there any kind of thermal relief settings I need to alter? Normally vias route to the signal from four sides. For the vias placed on the GND pad, do we need to change settings so that it connects to the signal from all sides and not just four?
When you say four sides, you mean the four vías on the ground pad?
Sorry I asked a wrong question without understanding how current passes through the via. I think the entire via’s inner hole circumference will be used to conduct. Conclusion is, I’m slightly worried about any possible issues that might come up if I use via on pads because I read online that we should not do that unless very much required..
It is very much required in your case and very ok to use vias as they connect to the ground directly
