I don't tend to print on glass, but this failure mode isn't surprising - repeated heating and cooling, plus the mechanical stress of the PETG slightly contracting as it cools will create microscopic cracks the build over time until the sheet fails
Yup, in hindsight that seems obvious. But i never had super strong adhesion to begin with, so I assumed it was fine. And my impression was that petg glass failures were something that happened instantly, rather than a gradual thing.
