Do you keep the house cooler at night? I have the house set at 68 during the waking hours, and 65 at night. If your heating unit is failing it may have trouble reaching the higher temps at night because the room temp is colder, then during the day, the room temp gets warmer, and goes up to the temp it’s been striving for. Even if it’s set at 99, it might not measure the temp properly, so it’s hard to say what exact temp it’s trying to reach. Either way, mine doesn’t do this, so I think there’s something wrong with yours. I keep my house relatively cold because we have an amphibious pet that needs the water temp 70 or below to be happy, and the front door is often held open just 3-4 feet from the bator by my kids as they come and go, and the temp stays steady. I’ve had mine for 2 years and I’ve been concerned about getting a new one when this one dies, because I have heard some complaints about temp. But last year, I got a second one for about a week, because the brinsea I ordered was on back order and I had eggs shipped that needed to be set. The new one worked equally well to the first, and I even considered switching them and returning the old one in the new ones box haha, but I thought that might get me bad retail karma.This makes me think that the room doesn't have stable temperature. If no one is moving at night, opening doors, etc, it keeps your temperature in the house more stable.
I would try moving it a closet or area with a controlled temperature and see if anything changes.
