Mine came back in the normal 40 mins (which is at least consistant)

Mine died just after the 2nd race at Flemington - so about 2.25 am UK time.
Ours died together and came back together then so there must be a link and a few others too? Error code 0x204 as well

It's so strange that it's (normally) the 3 of us that have the same problem. And probably something to learn from the fact that I missed it today.

Mine has gone and cannot reconnect as yet. Would have been around 2:25 am UK time.
I ran Microsoft updates and rebooted a few hours earlier.

Allowed me back in 40 minutes later. Automation did not run during those 40 minutes.
This event occurred around the time VPS dropped:
"The system time has changed to ‎2022‎-‎02‎-‎21T02:24:15.051000000Z from ‎2022‎-‎02‎-‎21T02:24:15.062940500Z.
Change Reason: An application or system component changed the time."

When i first got VPS, quite a while ago, I vaguely recall following instructions and setting up a step to have it adjust periodically for time drift.

Very interesting, I've only ever had one or two issues. I have had (very very occassional) issues of connecting to the vps (but on those occassions the server had kept running and bots placed bets etc). So the issue has probably been to do with the internet connectivity somewhere along the line.

I have always changed the server to run off Australian time.

The only time I had an issue when the bots themselves went down was when the whole data centre went out.

I also take care to set Microsoft updates for 9 am Australian time (when nothing is happening from my perspective).

VPS dropped mid race 1st at Stawell - 02.32 UK time (Fuck)

Came back after race.

The machines are all set to UK time.

(maybe not same issue, as wasnt locked out for 40 mins etc)

It’s definitely an Aus based issue - people not trading Australian times etc, will likely not notice.

We run stuff in Aus but none of the servers we run have seen the issue. So I don't think it's that. I think you also have many servers?

It seems to affect a very small number of servers and so we haven't been able to specifically isolate the issue.

If people want to send us the IP's and timings, we can see if there is a pattern.

Ok - thx.

It definitely seems 02.20 GMT ish is a danger zone for the server / must be a time-related issue somewhere.

Mine was the exact same, I must admit I’ve been lazy and not updated + restarted the VPS for almost 2 weeks, could that be the issue?
