base diff just reset to very low level. boom for GPU or USB ASIC solo miners.
2 days ago base diff already reset. 2nd time in couple of days.
Is there any documentation, other then reading though everything in github about the requirements for the difficulty reset to the low numbers?
I just did a quick look through the thread and did not see anything see anything about it.

Base Difficulty reset is controlled by big ASIC rigs. You can predict that base diff reset will come soon as soon as the difficulty level rose to a high level, say diff=10, then suddenly big ASIC rigs left. Then CPU Cheetah usually only dominate for 1 to 2 days, then reset.
I found explorer is the easiest way to know what is going on because explorer report base difficulty. Some times the current difficulty is only
0.000244 created by CPU cheetah miner, you can go back to the link of the prior blocks to find the base diff. You will need a desktop computer to find base diff, I found cell phone mobile page skip those info on explorer:
http://nengexplorer.mooo.com:3001/In GUI or CLI wallet, "getmininginfo" command report the base difficulty level.
Documentation is on the github code and my explanation of prior white paper and reports. CPU Cheetah runs around 3 to 4 minutes per block, the target time desired by NENG algorithm is 1 minute per block. CPU cheetah domination means reset is coming soon because 3 minutes is way longer than desired 1 minute target.
Another math factor is every 1440 blocks reset. You can divide the current block number divided by this 1440 to know the left over blocks and times. The explorer provide this information there but you have to do the math your self to know the left over time.
When I say big ASIC controlling this reset, they are truly controlling. If big ASIC rigs keep mining even on high base diff, the reset will not come soon. In history, the longest reset comes after two weeks in stead of every 1 week. But we got some times two three reset in one week, controlled too by big ASICs, some times big GPU solo miners control this too when the base diff is low range (~ 1) and reset from there.
I think CPU cheetah solo miners do not control this because CPU solo miners are mining NENG for profit. For sure GPU/ASIC left, CPU cheetah will pound on mining for sure, but their domination is doomed to have reset because of every 1440 reset, verses long block time by CPUs.
