Hello, Charity. Thanks for reaching out!
The spring wears out due to natural wear and tear or fatigue if you like. When it reaches to its cycle limit, it will eventually break (You can learn more about it here).
The spring is responsible for generating the force required to support the garage door’s mass, what makes the door light enough to operate. Garage doors can weigh up to 800 lbs. or more and with no force generated by the spring, the garage door has its full mass in effect.

Is this repair considered a safety and security issue?
It is about 25 years old. Is this wear and tear?

Your tips for how to troubleshoot will really help, especially where you talk about testing the infrared sensors to ensure that they’re triggering properly. If that doesn’t seem to be the problem causing the halts, I’ll probably check the motor next or else have a repair service come and look at it, as you suggest.
