Channel 0 (0.5m) started hitting 7 Volts on 2023-08-25 at 9:42 UTC, or 2:42 last Friday morning local time.  It was intermittent at first, but as of this morning it is continuous.  Presumably a short has developed somewhere, likely in the probe.  If there is a spare probe, then I think that's the first thing to try swapping out.

The first sign of a short in channel 0 seems to happen here:

I didn't see any other problems with ch2 except for those two in the dump excerpt above, whereas ch0 keeps showing up intermittently at 7V over the following days.  I don't know why the min goes close to zero, as if the bridge is disconnected, but the max is 7, normally indicating a short.
