AO7 at 01:18 utc was in mode "B" , what a surprise from the earlier pass that was in mode "A". I believe it will stay in mode "B" for some time. 73 Joe Amsat 3788

That is odd. The satellite is still well illuminated, so it might be that the user load peaked at a particularly bad instance and the buss dropped enough to reset the timer. Pure speculation on my part though!

Is it possible that it reset because someone used too much power on the bird? It's common knowledge to use the lowest power you can on any satellite, however I know some people crank it up and even use amplifiers which many times makes the bird unusable for others.
