If you've accidentally hit the 'Z' key, it cancels out the auto-activate ring.
Perhaps this could explain the problem? (easy to do if using default keymapping, especially if using the 'X' key to alter altitude while flying)
Never used Rage but some powers can't be autoed.
Rage can be.

Rage is a click power (i.e. not a toggle or passive) and it's not interruptible - those are the criteria for whether you can put a power on auto, iirc.
Rage can be put on auto, but something I've noticed lately (well, occasionally over the last 6 months) is that rarely after changing zones my auto-power deselects itself - I've /bugged it, but it is rather annoying, especially when it happens to my brutes (which have their fill-attack on auto, usually Boxing) and especially on my archery blaster (which relies on auto'd Power Thrust to throw enemies out of melee range, so I can prod them with my pointy sticks while hiding behind my ranged def - usually by the time I realise it's not on auto anymore I've got an enemy chewing my face off).
I do wonder if the auto-power selector turning itself off is related in some way to the recurring toggle-drop bug - after all, that tends to happen on zoning too.
Tend to put my ST Hold on auto on my defs and corrupters (occasionally other powers) when fighting AVs. Have noticed that often the autoed power doesn't get to fire as it seems to get demoted in the power queue whenever you fire another power normally, especially if there is a lot of lag.
However I have noticed the behaviour the OP is finding as well but less frequently usually notice after reentering a mish when I see the green ring has vanished but on occasion if I manually fire the power it detoggles the auto setting.
TBH this is nothing new I first noticed it happening about 2 years ago but was thinking I had just forgotten to set it.
I have found it to occur during a fight as well - wonder if it might be happening following a Mapserver D/C that is recovered or a lag spike.

If you have another power queued up then it will take precedence over the auto-power every single time - this could be what you're seeing. WAI. Basically you can only ever have 2 powers queued up, one manually (red ring around it) that takes precedence over the automatic one (green ring).

^This.
Easy to accidentially hit the 'Z' key or use it to cancel another queued power which will then also cancel the auto'd power.

Can anyone help me with an Auto-cast on Rage.
I ctrl-click to activate it and a green ring appears around it. I used this a year or so ago for hasten on my controller and it worked perfectly. But everytime I do it on my Rage, I look every now and then and the green ring has vanished. I don't understand. Am I clicking something to make it vanish?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mac
