Where Long-Running AI Agents Break After 30 Days
Zealousideal-Room298 · reddit · 2026-07-17
This Reddit discussion focuses on how AI agents break down after running for 30 days in real-world workflows.
The post points out that while demo-level failures are obvious, expensive issues often emerge over time:
- Stale memory
- Permission drift
- Silent duplicated work caused by retries
- Manual corrections not being logged back into the system
The author wants to know: if you've run an agent in production for over 30 days, what changed between week 1 and week 4? Did you fix it, narrow its scope, or remove the agent entirely?
