Solved Bed Fans (Nevermore) shuts off after about a minute

[Laserbea4k43]

Hi,
I've had a nevermore connected to my BTT Octopus for maybe a year now and it turns off after a minute or two, no matter how high or low I set its power.
I've had this same problem when I was using a Fysetc Spider.
My current config:

[fan_generic nevermore]
#  Nevermore - In E1 OUT Position
pin: PB11
# pwm: true
# shutdown_value: 0
# cycle_time: 0.01
max_power: .15
#shutdown_speed: 0.0
kick_start_time: 0.5
#heater: heater_bed
#heater_temp: 60
#fan_speed: 1.0

Does anyone have an idea what's causing this? I'm assuming power draw, but I don't know how or why.

Have you checked to see if voltage is still going to the fans even after they shut down? That can help isolate if it's a controller problem or a fan problem.

I tend to leave stuff alone as it's running, but I could check that. Good Idea.

My Nevermore is hooked up to my Octopus. No problems ever. Here's the entirety of my config:

[fan_generic nevermore]
## Nevermore - FAN4 on Octopus
pin: PD14

That's it. Works flawlessly.
