Maybe your unpaid balance was below the every-six-hour threshold of 0.04 BTC?

..and I was really starting to get used to getting nearly twice my daily mining average - every six hours.
Yes, it's been very nice, hasn't it?
As the saying goes: nothing lasts.
Yeah I was smoking hot sunday until yesterday. Still higher then normal today. around 0.021 and 0.011 is normal if you mine in a pool
Run with it while it lasts, is my view. When the payouts drop back to 0.011 level I'm turning my most inefficient miners off.
