Solar powered node, protected vs unprotected li-ion cel, does it always need a reset?

This behavior is built into the power management chip on the tbeam and can’t be fixed in software, you have to manually power the device back up, it will not automatically power up over USB.

Change of behavior: TBEAMS will now stay awake if they have USB power

I assume from your symptom that you have a tbeam. Unfortunately, the power management chip on the tbeam has this behavior built into the silicon. There’s no configuration we have access to that could change this.
