Power Panic failing to work

Hello I have had two 2 day print fail on me in the last 3 days. It was due to a power outage. The first time i think the power panic failed because i forgot to unplug the usb from the computer after upgrading the firmware. The second time however nothing was plugged in via usb and yet the print still didn't recover. After i pulled the failed print off the bed i started another print and simulated a power outage (pulling the plug) and power panic proceeded as it should have. 

I am rather annoyed and dissapointed that i have now wated half a roll of expensive filament at this point because of this and would like to figure out exactly whats going on if possible.

RE: Power Panic failing to work

I use a UPS on my printers rather than rely on Power Panic.
I found that if there were two or more power outages in short succession, the power panic routine was unable to resolve the issue.
