I'd say the magnetron is overheating and the magnetron thermostat (doing its job) is opening up thew power to allow it to cool.
When it is running, do you hear / feel the cooling fan? If not, that may be the problem, otherwise, I would suspect your magnetron has failed.
They should offer a magnetron warranty beyond the normal one-year warranty.

No never heard the cooling fan kick on after it shuts down, no power at all.
The magnetron in your microwave has probably gone out. The magnetron is the
part of the microwave oven that produces microwaves. If you unit is a built in model,
it will likely cost more to fix than a new one. Same thing goes for a
countertop unit.
