    It probably is...
    In general if you have a device which requires 50W, but you're only using 70-80% (i.e. 35-40W) then you're operating within the rating of the power supply. So unless there's some other rating in the PSU that changes, it's fine.

    Edit: Regarding rests, if you're talking about the laser then if it's just a thermal thing then switching off for 30mins every 3h is the same as running continuously at 83% power... which appears to be the case for you anyway.
