I’ve been running a particle to take readings from my water meter (using a magnetometer) and a Google sheet to collect the readings every 5 minutes. The process has been running for about 8 months but lately, the particle has been shutting down until I go pull the plug for 10 seconds and reconnect. It works fine until the next time. That interval has been getting shorter and shorter. Currently it stops about every three days. Didn’t see any articles covering this topic. Any suggestions?
