Recovery from drops — the bot diagnoses and fixes
In plain words: a "drop" is when a card instantly quits mining (the hashrate tanks or the card disappears). The bot unfolds the event: cause, boundary, clean recovery.
How it works
A drop and Xid — in plain words
An NVIDIA driver error is printed in the Hive log as "Xid number" — the card honestly admits it could not continue. Causes are few: the overclock was beyond its limit, the driver got wedged, the memory got hot. The bot reads the Xid and matches it to the card's current preset.
First reaction — a safe profile
As soon as a card hangs or turns into a constant failure, the bot puts safe values on it — the rig keeps running. A Telegram notice explains the cause and the actions.
Escalating actions on a hang
If the profile did not help, the bot reboots the rig itself, up to 3 attempts. If that also fails, the reboot is delayed to let the system settle and is checked again later. Manual intervention is unnecessary: recovery is fully automatic.
A boundary — a lesson kept, not lost
After a drop the bot records: "this card has no point above this line". The boundary is per-card. Not to confuse: if the card simply slowed because of the power budget — the bot changes the preset instead of rebooting the rig.
What you see
A Telegram message per drop: which card, what happened (the Xid code), what the bot did (safe profile or reboot), where the boundary is now. History —/history 3. You can also mark manually: /faulty 3 — consider the card faulty and stop its automation; /faulty 3 off — return it to work.FAQ
Does one card drop take the whole rig down?
No: the safe profile is for the card responsible only; the rest keep their presets. A full reboot is an escalated step, not the first reaction.
What happens to a "problem" card?
If repeats survive 3 attempts, protection kicks in: after 5–7 hits in a row the bot returns the last good preset and stops stressing the card. You see it in Telegram.
Do I reboot the rig after a drop?
No: the bot does it itself. Manually — only if you prefer.
What do drop notifications show?
The Xid code, the rig, the card and the actions — the whole history is stored, so any night is easy to recall.
