If you're using this for anything that requires relatively good precision and/or accuracy (ie: baking, meal prep, tracking calories/nutrients based on weight, packaging things based on weight), I highly recommend validating the scale every month or so. Often, these failures happen gradually over over time. More expensive kitchen scales can also be subject to such failures.
You could either check it using another scale, to make sure it is consistent, or the best way is to buy a cheap set of check weights and just spot check it now and then, especially if something seems off. You can get a set of check weights for less than 10 bucks. If you're a really cheap, you could use something like 100 mL of water which should weigh approximately 100 g.
As the guy above mentioned i would check its accuracy. i did it with copper pennies, but i like the h2o method better. At first you assume you are doing something wrong but as time goes on it getts more and more inaccurate and you realize its just a a POS.
In fact it looked new when i threw it away.
I've learned to cover mine with kitchen wrap to keep it clean and damage free.
I do not care about super accuracy; just guidance
