Homelab Hero · No. 006: your result

Hero call. 100 Hero Points.

Exactly right. The rack is still on mains power and your graceful shutdown was tested last month — the real risk is a battery that cannot outlast a storm outage. Triggering shutdown earlier shrinks the runtime the battery has to deliver to what a weak pack can actually give, and ordering tonight starts the only clock that fixes this: the replacement's.

The lesson: Shrink the job to fit the battery you have, and start the replacement clock tonight.
