this may have been discussed already so if it has i'm sorry. my question is when my strip mining lasers shut off due to a full hold and the ore i mine exceeds what my ship can carry does the excess get removed from the asteroid and is just lost or does it stay in the asteriod and no i do not afk min i just want to make sure i'm not losing and valuable ore due to the auto shut off

You don't lose the ore. Whatever was there when you stopped is still there in the belt.

Easy way to verify what Zifrian said:: the mining missions.
In those missions the asteroids have a fixed amount if mineral. Even if what you pull exceed you hold capacity at the end of the mission you still get the same amount of minerals. So what you pull in excess to your hold capacity is returned to teh asteroid.

If your hold is full at the end of a mining cycle, the ore isn't pulled from the asteroid even though it says 'you mined x units of y' on the interface.

If you want to test this yourself, you can use a survey scanner to check the amount of ore in an asterroid before and after your laser's cycle. If you do it with a full or mostly full hold then the amount shouldn't change.
