We saw another offline period of roughly 8 hours in the night between October 31 and November 1 until we carried a battery pack to the attic for the second time this fall.
The week was quite overcast, and so while the phone's battery is able to charge between roughly 8:00 and 15:30, it is not enough to end the day fuller than it started. It is enough however to keep the phone online for roughly 4 days, compared to the one-and-a-half days the phone would make it without all of those charging shenanigans. So they buy quite a bit of extra time during which the sun could come out at any point. We weren't so lucky this time.
