I am usually close to 100% too and electrical is actually very stable in my area even during storms. I did have trouble with my ISP recently and had them come out to find a bad cable somewhere in the neighborhood which they replaced. That event probably knocked me down to 95% that month as there were several large downtime of the Internet for an hour or longer.

I was thinking of getting a secondary ISP for another $80 or so per month to offset this type of event, but now that they fixed it is had been solid again. I am still doing the math to see which is better, a constant extra $80/mo expense plus install for insurance against Internet outage or just live with the occasion blip that may or may not add up to $80/mo in losses. I probably lost way more than $80 during the bad month due to not mining, but over a year it becomes a bit harder to judge as the new bill for a second Internet connection would be close to $960.

Close to 100% if not accounting for power outages, have had 2 because of storms lately.
However, I have a test rig that I use to test and work on underperforming GPU's or if a part like a PSU dies.
It has made a difference for me.

Mine only go down if the power goes out and mediacom decides to be a dick

Pretty close to 100%.  Other than occasional algorithm configuration changes, and the rare power outage, mining is a lights-out operation for me.  I took a two week vacation, with no access to a computer or to my rigs, and everything ran smoothly.  I can remotely monitor via my phone, but it's really not needed.  I get notifications if a rig is down, but by the time I've checked the status of the system in question, it's either already running again, or is in the midst of rebooting.  I've got monitoring software running on a Raspberry Pi connected to the rig network, and if it detects that a rig has not been responding after a certain amount of time, it sends the command to the PDU to power cycle that outlet.

With prices at their current highs, even a half hour of downtime is costly, so I really like having as much monitoring and recovery as possible completely automated.

Pretty good setup for you. Since I'm staying at home mostly I do things manually and they are working good. The only issue I'd like to get rid of  is "multiple reboot requirement". One of the cards does not like to work with single reboot, it hashes around 13 then after a few more cycles it works well. If someone can recommend anything, I'd like to follow the suggestion and test it.

95% ... I need to stop tinkering with settings Sad

Same here lol

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

Over 98% overall, have only one rig with old mobo and 79xx cards that sometimes decides mining is not cool enough and restarts for no reason.
Anyway, stay calm and respect your elders, these 79xx cards have paid off years ago Smiley

Above 99% here too. My biggest issue is occasional power outages or me tinkering with things to where a reboot is needed to activate changes.

ICO? Not even once.
Probably around 99% on all of them even without a GPU usage based tracking/switching.

My three card rigs are up more then 99 percent

On rigs with 6-10 GPU, what % of the time are you actually able to mine?

Thanks

Very close to 100%. The only thing that makes it slightly less is the very rare power outage but even that is mitigated with having ethos.
