Three reasons a machine goes quiet, and only one of them is a Warranty case.
Every 3 months from purchase, up to 48 hours. $20 on a whole unit, $2 on a 10/100 share. Routine service, nothing to do.
An ASIC runs flat out around the clock, so hashboards, control boards and fans wear out. Under Warranty repair starts without you, back online in up to 14 days. Standard is free with new gear for 6 months. Uncovered, a control board is about $400 on a whole unit, $40 on a 10/100 share.
When profit stops covering the power, the machine is paused instead of burning money. On older models that's what the Trade-in Program is for.
