Two things I should have mentioned--remove PSA discs while they are still warm from friction of sanding and keep the pad protected from dust accumulatiopn while no disc is attached. I usually leave a disc on when I'm finished with the sander and change it before resuming use after heating up the pad on scrap or whatever.
