No leachate at all

We have been using the Hotbin for a month. Temperature went up to 50c but has since dropped to 20c. During this time no leachate at all has been produced. What has gone wrong please?

To keep temperature up, the microbes need fresh material to thrive and survive. Assuming you are in UK, we have had some very cold weather which will have an effect.
I have two HotBins. One is a mini and I draw an eggcupful of leachate daily. The other is a regular HotBin which never produces leachate. I offer both HotBins a similar mix of material.
