OK, bot has now been given a process management system to help run continually and not crash completely if there is an error. Not sure if it will help with the not posting at/after midnight issue, but it can’t hurt and will give me a bit more information.
I have instructed the bot to post at 11:55, but after past failures am much less hopeful it will actually work ☹️ I’ve added in a few more test posts elsewhere at various intervals to try and get some more information about what is going wrong. At the moment the theory that the cat is sabotaging it seems as likely as anything else. It is very frustrating that every single test I do works perfectly, and the actual post doesn’t.
FWIW one of my peeves with the way it worked on reddit is that a new thread at midnight can interrupt the thread conversations for night owls. I feel like a 4 AM time for the new thread would be good.
Its the best theory I have right now. She’s trying to look disinterested, but she definitely has a keyboard obsession she’s not been able to hide, so being a closet hacker is something I wouldn’t put past her.

Midnight is a clear break between one day and the next. 4am is arbitrary.
I picked it as a solid guess as to when most people are offline. Not arbitrary at all.
So did I end up being right then?
That your cat was the saboteur and is trying to take over the world?
