How much mixing does it do, measured in minutes? When I was making sourdough regularly, most of the work was turn and fold in the bowl every hour or two for the day. Therefore the work of a machine seems like overkill.
I hadn’t really thought about bread machine with sourdough, because it’s “supposed” to be rustic and old world. But having a box that does most of the work and I bake it the next day would probably increase my sourdough production which has averaged zero loaves for the last year or so.

the dough cycle takes a couple of hours, this had rest as well as mix periods though. So I am unsure of the mix duration

That seems like a long bake time for such a firm dough (well it sounds firm). Is the loaf very dark?

not particularly. The bread machine is doing the baking though, so it likely takes time to heat up and does not get too hot.
1. add 500g strong white,2 tbl spoons starter, 300ml water, 10g salt to bread machine
2. start dough mix programme (go for longest duration one available)
3.leave for 24hrs or until has doubled in size
4. bake for 70 mins
Not the best sour dough bread. But I think still quite delicious. And really very low effort.
