You would be surprised how hot it gets during three or 4-6 sessions in row. You can't notice it as well even after session. I would put a thermometer in the room. If it gets above 33 C, it might be too much if the A/C isn't focused to the foot of the bed and the fan is blowing it across and into the intake vents.

Also, check to make sure the filters are new in the intake vents.

What voltage is the bed running at? I have had mine overheat with new lamps when I had the voltage too high at the start.

How is the bed exhausted? If it is too long up the pipes, after enough sessions it will overheat or if there is bend in the ducting.

I am almosted convinced it is a heat issue. I have had it happen LOTS before, even when the bed or room didn't seem hot oddly enough. I also can't see anything else that would cause it to only shut off periodically and raise the canopy as it does and then turn back on. That is exactly what happens when it overheats.
