I usually mill just before brewing, while my strike water heats up. Now that I use an Anvil and can have strike water heated up when I wake up I would prefer to mill the night before.
Any concerns regarding oxidation or anything here?

No problem at all. Crushed grains will hold up well for weeks, if not months, when stored in a cool dry place.

You won't notice any difference in quality.

Cool, dry place being the key. The enemy of cereal grains is moisture more than time.

That’s what I thought, overthinking. I milled a little while ago, it will be nice to get right to my first cup of coffee after I mash in.

So no conditioning grain in advance and avoid crushing conditioned grain until ready for mashing?

I was responding to Bob357's comment. Crushed grains will in fact hold up well for weeks, if not months, when stored in a cool, dry place. But don't wet them and then store them for a prolonged time. Is that what you are talking about?

Agreed. I crush the night before while setting up my Anvil and my brewing water for the next day. No issues here.

That’s what I did and am glad as I am mashing in.
I think there was some LO talk about this but it seems waiting to mill iis not something people found worth adopting.

I mill while the brewing liquor is heating. It just fills a time gap.

I always mill a day or 2 before.

Yes.  It seems that milling in advance would preclude grain conditioning before milling.  But I don’t know that it outdated be okay overnight or a day or so longer...just throwing the question out there.  I have pretty much given up on grain conditioning, but others find it useful.

Yeah, the issue being discussed was LOX and what effects there might be from crushing the acrospire where a lot of it is stored and exposing it to oxygen too far in advance of the mash where it can be deactivated by heat.
