Greetings.... I have my slots on timers to turn off and on and I am getting a coin in jam error on one of them, s2000, and when I open/close the door the error goes away and don't come back until the next morning,  any ideas?

Without a little more info on the machine I would first look at the voltage on the MPU coin battery. You might post as to what game theme you're running and what MPU version that machine is using.

I've noticed a lot of posts on NLG of coin-in jam errors being the result of loose I/O cards -
either on the door panel or the one on the MPU wall (left of the hopper)

With the power turned "OFF" - I'd go about re-seating those I/O cards and connectors.
You don't ever want any power on when checking I/O cards ( or any other boards for that matter)
Power on while installing/removing a circuit board is never good.

Anyways, make sure the I/O cards and connecting Molex connectors
are inserted fully into the back of the receptor housings.
We've had instances where these errors happened as a result of
a machine being moved from one place to another.
Even though you're not moving the machine, opening and closing the doors a million times
could also cause the I/O circuit card/s on the door to wiggle loose as well.
Though I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the power being turned off or on.

I've never had a coin-in jam error and I might turn the power off/on about 30 times or more
in one evening as I'm tinkering around with an S2000.

In the Operator and Attendant Menus on page 2.5 I/O Tests (Option: [4]),
you can run some tests to see if there's anything out of whack.
Sometimes it will lead you to a component that's causing problems.
