Putting this sequence of events here, as an observation. Not sure about the true root cause but perhaps due to run-away API connection time-out issue ....

If it happens again, zip your .\debug and .\logs folder to me, and I'll investigate.

I'm thinking it's more a miner crashed and that caused the issue on the SWARM side.
