I can’t get more than upper 30’s before it just starts doing too many odd things to work around

Yep, same for me. But the restart fixes it every time. That's why I set a timer that reminds me to restart after 20+ days.

Same here. I get ridiculous uptimes on mine. (And, yes, I defer SW updates…)

Only if you skip updates that require a reboot?

This has been my experience as well. I've had an M1 MacBook Pro since they came out and I've never had to reboot my machine outside of software updates that required me to. It has always just run.

I use my computer to write Elixir code, write music with Logic and Studio One, and edit photos/videos. Maybe none of those tasks trigger the problems other people are having.

Don't OS upgrades come out more often than that?

Refreshing just HN probably doesn't take too many resources.
