My piaware loses SSH connection and the status page won't load

I have this issue where, I lose the ssh access as well as the default status page not working after 24 hours.

I can take the SD card out, add the blank ssh file to get access but it goes away after a while. I am not sure why, has anyone else run into this?

Had the same problems, so after I recreated a ssh file and rebooted, I ran the raspi-config program via ssh, and selected #3 Interface Options, and then selected SSH option and enabled SSH. It has been working since, even if the ssh file is missing from /boot. Hope this helps and you have fun improving your system.

Last I knew, the SSH file you placed in the config disappears from the config since it has server it’s purpose and you should be good to go from there on out. NTW

I have done that, did not fix anything.

This sounds like you have a more general network problem rather than it being the ssh file.
I suspect that just restarting the pi will restore things without you adding the file again.
When it fails, can you ping the pi?
Are you on a wifi or ethernet connection?
Are you on a static or DHCP ip address?
It might be a DHCP address not being renewed when its lease expires.
Is your DHCP lease time 24hrs?
