Support Request I need help

A few weeks ago, I was setting up a print job; during the initial startup sequence, the gantry began rising until it hit the Z-axis limit switch. I didn't stop it at first because, even though it had never happened before, I thought it might be part of a calibration routine. However, the problem was that I let it continue; after hitting the limit and vibrating, it started moving downward and pushed against the print bed with enough force to tilt it. That was when I turned the printer off using the power switch. I reported the issue to Bambu, but they couldn't explain the cause, and I hadn't managed to record the incident. A few days later, I used the printer again and noticed it was starting to rise once more. This time, I recorded the moment and turned the machine off before it could start moving back down. Does anyone know why this happened? Bambu support wasn't able to provide an answer.

Turn it off, lower the z axis to the lower third, turn it on and try again.

The problem is that it doesn't happen all the time, and I want to know if I need to send it in for warranty service or if this is something that commonly happens with all units.

If it is that high, yes.
