We have continued observations of the black-hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 (GCN 11296, ATel #2873, ATel #2881) at radio and sub-millimeter wavelengths with the WSRT, EVLA, ATCA, e-VLBI, VLBA and APEX (for initial detections see GCN 11304, ATel #2874, ATel #2906). The source flux has been evolving for a week at levels between 5 and 15 mJy, but dropped below 0.6 mJy on 8 October at all wavelengths. Quenching of the radio emission has been often observed in X-ray binaries before the occurrence of strong radio flaring, during which discrete relativistic ejecta may appear.
