It was a good run but the party is over. Looking forward to the next one. It's almost like a ball game

Cheers!
When you rent off NiceHash you set a price you will pay for the rentals. If someone else comes along and will pay more, they bump you off until the price comes back down to your range, so the start and stopping is normal. Willi thought we had 3-3 1/2 days of run time depending on the price, so we may have a couple of days left still.
Thanks for the info. Been mining a few years but renting hash is a new adventure for me.
