K so update. I took off the heated plate to check the connections, the connections TO the bed seems ok, nicely crimped in the little slots. It was able to heat up periodically for me to test a print and then it dropped back down again after about 20 mins.
Now it does a crazy thing where it goes up to 60 and then shoots up to 70, 80, 90 and then max temp error in like 15 seconds. But I thinks an error since I can still put my hand on the plate. It certainly doesn't feel like it's actually 90C and there's no way it could get up there in a few seconds physically (I think)
The Connector might be faulty when heating up. the solder might have come lose, if you have an soldering iron, you can try to re-solder but because of the aluminium this is a tricky process requiring a good soldering iron.
Or send an email to support explaining the problem they might send you a new heated bed heater
