  NSLS-II storage ring started top off operation since Oct 2015. User operation current has been gradually increased to 250mA. Observations of beam stabilities during top-off operations will be presented. Total beam current was typically maintained within ±0.5% and bunch to bunch current variation was less than 20%. Injection transition during top-off was measured bunch by bunch digitizer, and BPM to analyze the orbit motion at various bandwidths (turn by turn, 10kHz and 10Hz rate). Coupled bunch unstable motions were monitored. As the vacuum pressure improves, fast-ion instability is not as severe compared to early stage of commissioning/operation, but still observed as the dominant instability. Resistive wall instability is noticed as more in-vacuum-undulator (IVU) gaps closed. xBPM measured photon stability and electron beam stability at top off injection have been evaluated. Short term and long term orbit stabilities will be reported.

First experience with the beam-induced heating of the ceramics chambers in the NSLS-II storage ring has been discussed. Total five ceramics chambers are considered to be replaced due to overheating concern during of upcoming Iav=500mA operations. The air cooling fans has been installed as a temporarily solution to remove heat.

The microwave instability in the NSLS-II has been studied for the current configuration of insertion devices, 9 In-Vacuum Undulators (IVU's), 3EPU's, 3 Damping Wigglers. The energy spread as a function of single bunch current has been measured based on the frequency spectrum of IVU for X-Ray Spectroscopy (SRX) beam line. The results for two lattices, bare lattice with nominal energy spread 0.0005 and a lattice with one DW magnet gap closed (nominal energy spread 0.0007) are compared. In addition we used a Spectrum Analyzer to measure the beam spectrum. The instability thresholds for two different lattices cross-checked numerically using the particle tracking code SPACE and longitudinal impedance.
