I just upgraded Gemini firmware and ASCOM 7 software and the mount keeps turning off PEC while doing imaging session.
Sometimes I see PEC checkbox is unchecked from Gemini hand controller screen. I also noticed from PHD log viewer after imaging night.
I don't really know if this is really related to the firmware and software update since I don't have old data.
I use NINA software to control everything. Is there any log in the Gemini to tell me why it turned off PEC?
It keeps turning off in the middle of a session, not at the beginning? That's strange.

ASCOM 7 is the common ASCOM platform across all mounts and devices, it doesn't know anything about Gemini or how to talk to it, or, how to turn on or off PEC. That's the job of the Gemini.NET ASCOM driver. Did you update that as well? What version of the driver do you have installed? The driver generates logs for the session, as well as, NINA. You can check both logs for errors or possibly disconnects.
