Had this happen with our machine around the two hour mark. In our case the auto timer had turned itself back on after a brief power blip. Many units cycle through that model 60 90 then infinite play with each press. The trick was a long press on the timer button to clear it and then one tap to set it to continuous. If your manual shows a memory function unplug the unit for ten minutes then power back up and set the timer again. Sometimes that clears a stuck setting. If it is not the timer check the power path., The little barrel or USB connector can loosen over time and a tiny jiggle looks like a shut down. While it is running gently wiggle the plug and cable and see if the that model hiccups. If it does swap in a snug cable or a different adapter you already own with the same voltage and equal or higher current rating. Also pop the battery door and make sure the springs are shiny and firm. If they look dull rub them with a pencil eraser and bend them out a hair. That gave us reliable all night play again. Worked great.
