The more common case is that a server fails due to something like a

Why is it not sending stratum 16 plus alarm?
What are the usual reasons for servers going crazy?
A power outrage is the most likely cause. If the power is off long
enough for the UPS to run down it will probably take ten to twelve
hours to stabilize with the correct time.
So you accept that ntpd has an atrocious startup transient response?
I don't believe that I have ever said otherwise. Since I run my
timeserver 24x7 I need to restart it only after a power outrage lasting
longer than the run time of my UPS.
