I think that when the glove stole most of Amber's power, it severly damged her Aura since the power is bound to her Aura. For Cinder to take the power, Amber's Aura need to be "drained". Had the transfer been compeleted, Amber would have died. But since she only got half, Amber was still left with something. But she should have died from what that glove did to her. So she was going to die, the machine just kept her alive as best as possible. Cryostasis easily limits the body's functions so she would have lasted for a long time, even if a person is dying. Look at Nora Fries. But still, the cryostasis was off during the transfer and doubt it can save a person from an arrow to the chest.
