It nearly always wakes up into mode B after each eclipse. So since it is currently (and for the foreseeable future) eclipsing every orbit, it will reset once every orbit after re-entering sunlight from eclipse.

Are there many stations doing Mode A at all? I haven't worked too many people on that mode before, but it is a lot of fun. Once it switches to Mode A, what causes it to eventually go back to Mode B?

My understanding is that this is not uncommon. The first question that comes to my mind: Are there stations that consistently work AO-7 on Mode A shortly after the satellite resets?
