I would expect both sides would need to do it.
After all if a breech of contract occurs then how does the customer initiate it with assurance?
I know one company that does take compliance seriously on their end. They issue non-compliance reports before being asked. It is possible that this is because their clients are much bigger and thus would have many more lawyers. So proactive is probably best. Or maybe they just want to be seen as a better partner.

No but I did a Power plant using a uVax and BETA software and we helped them debug it.
I left the company not long after and every job we did we got sued because the PM had no idea what he was doing.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

PMs only argument was a stuttering:

Sounds like you made a wise switch.

Some years ago I received an email from my internet provider saying that I had exceeded my monthly allowance. I asked them to provide the figures showing what I had used, and they told me I would have to do it myself, as they had no means to do it. I switched soon after that.

Mindblowing. How can they make the claim you went over your allowance, if they can't provide the figures used to make that assertion?
My ISP lets me view my stats in almost real-time, and download them to CSV files as often as I want. The figures aren't an exact match, but always very close to what my router is reporting for the WAN port.

I once saw a report that showed my usage was "way over" my plan (GB), but the provider never flagged me ... so I never looked at that report again.

I'm with a hosting provider (or rather, one of my clients is, but I manage everything) that provides "unlimited" storage. Which is good, because this client has a lot of large PDFs generated every day (several hundred), each containing a dozen or so hi-res images. Every day we get an email saying we have "exceeded our resource limits". First time I got this I (almost) panicked and contacted the hosting company about it. They assured me, "don't worry, there is no limit on your account. It's just that Plesk [the control panel they use] doesn't support unlimited storage so we had to put a limit in, and it will warn you each day". Which it has - every single day for the past three years. At least I know the server's up when I see that in my inbox each morning. 
But Plesk - seriously??

It would be difficult for me to exceed my "unlimited" monthly allowance, but I'm elephanted if I could get my head round their "reasonable use" criteria.

That's why I switched to a provider that offers unlimited.

If they don't measure their SLA's - how do they know if they meet them?
Do they let you the organisation specify how you are going to measure the SLA's?
If not, I recommend this high technology device to help to determine if the service levels were met: Industry recognised SLA measurement device
Ask them: if you assert they did not make their SLA's what their process would be to determine that they did?
Otherwise - indefinite free service.

maybe the stepper has an intermittent short in it. sounds faulty in any case. The current draw should be stable under a constant load.

That was my first thought. Changed motors still does it, changed 4988 driver (could have been a fault) still does it but only with a scope probe, not multimeter or other implement only a scope probe (connected to a scope, not even selected channel, but connected).

Wow. It almost sounds like maybe your scope is doing something to the signal. Could it be your scope is to blame?
ETA: My Salae was acting really strange one day, and I spent all day debugging because I couldn't figure out why my SPI signal was so off. It's still a mystery as the analyzer hasn't acted up since.

Don't really think so, a cheapo R&S Pro branded UniT model, about 700mV on the probe...

Inductor or capacitor - I forget which.
I had a similar problem 20+ years ago: the board was working really weirdly so I stuck a scope on to look at what was happening and ... the problem went away. I talked it over with Tektronix, and (apart from their first suggestion which was "ship a scope with each unit?") they were very helpful. IIRC, it was the scope probe capacitance that was fixing it and adding a couple of pF to the line smoothed it all out and it worked faultlessly from then on (though it may have been a small inductor we needed to add, I can't remember and the H/W designer died a few years ago.)

I have been thinking that, I just try resoldering the connections to the module. Stupid thing is must be the capacitance as adding other probes or a screw driver doesn't do it (inductive, I think). It happens if I change the motor, the driver board.
