Playlist stops working after about 40m?

It’s an infinite playlist that runs 6 presets at 5 minute intervals. When it auto starts with Hassio it runs for 40 min then randomly stops.

If I run the playlist manually from WLED it also stops working after a while.

Check the uptime and post details of your set-up (WLED version, ESP, number of LEDs, GPIO pins, etc)

Uptime: 15hrs 15min (looks like something is going on here)
Version: 0.13.0-b6
ESP32
Leds: 83
GPIO is set to 16 but not sure what that is…
12v 8.5a PSU

and the playlist JSON would be?

I did a dirty fix by having WLED start on preset 1 during boot. It seems to only reboot once. After the initial reboot after 3ish hours, it’s been on ever since. Current uptime 19hrs 35m. The first time I had sparkle preset and I removed that one and changed it with another. That one was causing weird glitchy issues I believe or maybe I just had the speed to fast.

nothing unusual there.
I am sorry to say I cannot reproduce.

Before I had the auto brightness limiter setting turned off. Then I turned it on and set it to 800mA.

I honestly never knew how much power these LEDs need… They just look so dimmed compared to the regular Christmas lights I have :pensive:

Either way, thank you so much for taking the time and looking into this! I really appreciate. I’m still a noob and I have a feeling I have something messed up in the wiring. Will try again next year on hopefully a new house.

82 LEDs will need about 4A for full power. If you limit them to 800mA they will be bright only if just a few are lit.
Increase the limit (provided you have adequate PSU) and they will be bright.

Looks like you’re using an 8.5A power supply, so you should be safe to set your current limit to ~7500mA. The goal of this feature is to protect the power supply by preventing WLED from requesting more power than is available.
