Quite possibly you had corrupt station memory <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Troubleshooting-the-Davis-Vantage-station#corrupt-station-memory>, a symptom of which is that loop packets are received from the console/logger but (hardware) archive records are not. If you happen to be running with software record generation you will see no problems since WeeWX is synthesising archive records from the loop packets rather than asking the console/logger for archive records. However, when you change to hardware record generation WeeWX now asks the console/logger for an archive record but the console/logger cannot provide one (due to corrupt memory). WeeWX carries on but with no archive records being saved to archive; reports are run but with no updated data, basically the system does not update. When you look at the log it is quite evident; no records being saved but reports being run.
The usual fix is to clear the device memory with wee_device, but changing the console archive interval also clears the memory thus fixing the corrupt station memory.
