Mining Bug?

[Frondator]

I am down in Cidhna Mine (came back through the ruins) and saw a silver mine and decided to mine it, but am prompted with how long I would like to rest. I rested for 8 hours thinking that would allow to mine afterward but it just prompted me again. I installed SkyUI and Quality World Map, after skse64--are any of these known to cause issues with mining? Thank you.

Do you have the Unoffical patch installed as well?

Yes, first on my load order after the the base game and expansions. Maybe I am not supposed to go back to Cidhna and mine those spots where the original NPCs were mining. I haven't tried another mine in the open world yet.

Found this in the UESPWiki

Bugs
The ore vein directly above the 3 pickaxes near the fire does not appear until after escaping the mine and returning. However, even after it appears, it is not mineable by any means. It acts as a bed even when attacked with a pickaxe equipped.
