Your hot water tank is not working properly or someone used up all the water before you did. If one element is blown on an Electric tank and the other is working, your hot water will not last very long.
A small electric hot water tank is more energy-efficient, takes up less space, and can be more cost-effective to operate compared to larger models.
The electric heating elements within the tank must remain immersed in water. If the power is not disconnected before draining the tank, the elements will get too hot and will burn out. if the tank is sitting idle but remains full of water, then they should not burn out.

If you have a leak on the hot water somewhere in the house and the water input into the tank is not running, the tank will lose it's water. And if it is an electric tank, the elements will burn out. Gas hot water tank should be no problem. Pressure valve does not have to be open.
yes, the breaker just controls the heating elements
A gas hot water heater generally lasts 8-12 years and electric models 10-15 years. If your showers are not getting warm or you notice moisture or rust around your tank, it might need replaced.
