Is this the sign of a failing card?
Quite possibly. I've had cards and USB stick fail. It does not seem to be related to use. It is only vaguely related to age. One I put an emergency boot for 11.2 on some years ago is now completely dead though its been used only a few times. I think it has more to do with manufacturing quality. That's the same for rotating rust, isn't it? That being said, some other older sticks and cards seem to survive well. Again, not related to use. The one in my camera is the oldest of all the cards I have and sees the most use but shows no signs of failing. Go figure. Rotating Rust dies after a few years and we've come to accommodate that in our contingency planning.
