from 500 to 900m
Hmmm, your log doesn't show that you restarted after 10:11:43 when it stopped. There must be another log after this one.
Show a screen shot of the bot, do you see any pokestop at all? If you don't, It may be a soft IP ban after 28 failed looting attempt. Can you log in using a different account? If it has the same problem, it could be an IP ban which might take minutes to few hours.
Try to eliminate all the possibilities.

it is probably ip ban but why?
IP ban normally is a result of multiple requests from the same IP. How many accounts are being used in your household using the same IP at the same time? This could trigger a soft IP ban too.
Looking at your log, I'm suspecting that you received a soft ban which prevented you from looting the pokestop. But your soft IP ban may be a result of repeated and multiple failed request in short period of time, 28 times altogether, and may have been interpreted by Niantic as DDoS attack on their server. Pokefarmer has no built-in protection on "failed to loot" softban. It will allow you to perform almost endless unsuccessful loot depending on your setting. The built-in protection that is has is on "pokemon fled" softban, which will cause PF to stop and give you the "Restricted blah blah" warning. If PF did not include that protection, the bot may just walk around all night, trying to "unsuccessfully" catch pokemon all night, until it triggers an IP ban too.
