ESP8266 WiFi Edgent froze and disconnected at 3:01 AM EST

Issues and Errors
1

I have been working on a project that is based on the ESP8266 Edgent sample code and today both devices I am working on went offline at 3:01 AM and did not reconnect, at about 5 AM I had to power cycle them.

I am not showing code as it is essentially a small variation on the sample code in the Arduino with current code base.
Blynk Arduino library version 1.3.2

So really 2 issues:

  1. Was there some sort of issue where Blynk Servers had an issue at this time and is there something time related? Today was the end of day light savings time in EST at 2 AM, but this would have been several hours later.

  2. The base Edgent sample seems to have problems with reconnects, any recommendations on this? Seems like it retries for a very long time and it seems like after a period of time should do an MCU restart. Before integrating with Blynk I implemented a similar feature and was really stable.
