Can the 2nd gen alarm arm itself?

Hi, I'm trying to remotely support my elderly mother who has a Ring Alarm Pro (2nd gen), which I installed for her on my last visit to the UK. Unfortunately she is reluctant to use it so it never gets used unless I arm it remotely when she is away for an extended period, then disarm it again when she is returning.
Recently she nipped out for 5 minutes to the local shop and when she came back the alarm was sounding, however she had not knowingly armed it. I was able to disarm it for her remotely but now the alarm is using Alarm Mobile Backup, despite her internet connection being okay, which means I am unable to see any events in the Ring app.
Q1. Is it possible for the alarm to arm itself?
Q2. Is anyone aware of this happening due to a malfunction or when the "The Ring System is experiencing difficulties"?
Q3. What can I tell her to do to get the Alarm Pro to use her internet connection instead of mobile backup

thanks Tom. Once the base station was back online using the house internet connection I was able to see the events and could see that my mother had somehow managed to arm the alarm without realising!
