Does "last check in time" apply for connecting flights?
I'm arriving at London Heathrow at 2:05PM, and then my next flight leaves at 3:50PM, which gives me 1h45m to switch terminals, which is fine, generally. Both are international flights. However, the second airline has written: "Last Check In Time: 2:50PM".
Does this mean that I need to arrive at the second airline's counter by 2:50PM to get my boarding pass, even though I do not have to check in any luggage? (I'll have checked it in with the previous airline and I don't have to pick it up at London, only at my final destination). My seat is already reserved. The second airline's counter will be at the terminal I'm departing from, so 45 minutes to get there is too short.

Do you check-in again for connecting flight?
In most cases, you'll receive your boarding pass for your connecting flight already when you check in for your first flight. This means you don't have to check in again for your next flight. If you haven't received it, you can go to the transfer desk or kiosk of the airline you're flying with to collect it.Do I have to check-in separately for connecting flights?
When arriving at the connecting airport all you have to do is to go to your next gate and wait for the next plane, your next flight. There might be a security check in the terminal at the connecting airport. But mostly you don't have to do anything about your luggage. It's being taken care of by the airport personnel.Connecting Flight procedure India Boarding Pass Check-in bag Airport par मुझे अपना सामान कहां मिलेगा
