Pausing the machine

Hey all, I had a interesting thing happen. In the middle of a cut the machine paused itself. I just had to resume it but it seemed strange to me. Anyone know what happened? Maybe a fail safe of some kind? Also this project is taking much longer than it said in Estlcam and I am thinking of pausing until I can monitor it again tomorrow, has anybody else done this? Thanks

A pause that long will probably lose it’s position, the motors will disable.

Mark your rails with a sharpie. Like barry said, the steppers will release…
