Ender 3 V2 damage? (sh.itjust.works)

Hi there! I've had this printer about a year now. I used to use my buddies og Ender 3, and when the V2 was on sale I "upgraded" and got my own.

I realize now that for just a bit more money I could've had a much more performant machine, but, oh well. I'm gonna use this for a good long while. I only print as an occasional hobby, or to augment my other hobbies.

Anywho, it's been on a shelf up and out of the way all winter, unused, in a climate controlled room.

I pulled it out the other day to do a few prints, it works great. Ran about 12 or 16 hours of prints through it. But today I noticed these cracks. This seems to be the belt tensioner for the bed? Did I have it too tight? Am I supposed to relax it while it's being stored?

I can probably print a replacement. But I was just wondering what your thoughts were.

Thanks!
