I only uses StartDeepSleep everywhere. No StartLightSleep. The reason is that the Deep sleep really reset all the memory and you start fresh like in a physical reboot. I have a device under a desk working properly for the last months without any issue. It does sleep a big longer than in your examples (it sleeps 2 minutes or so). Maybe you can try to adjust for it to sleep longer.
In the output file I can only see DEEPSLEEP_RESET does the ESP32 logging have a LIGHTSLEEP_RESET?
I originally had device sleeping for >10mins but took days for issue to occur.
In the binary file there are a few TG1WDT_SYS_RESET (I'm guessing those watchdog timeouts are where POSTs are too close together) and when device finally stops lots of SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT.
I had only used StartLight sleep when hen the Wifi failed to connect (hangover from previous experiment) will fix and run again.
Replaced StartLightSleep in Wifi connect failure handler with StartDeepSleep, ran the program again.
Whatever randomness causes this occurred quicker...

OK, so there is definitely something behind all this. And the device I'm using has been flashed a year ago or so! Maybe even more. And still working. Maybe I haven't reached the point of problem you describe neither. And maybe with various electricity cut or whatever it resets itself properly.
So I guess this would require a bit of investigation @josesimoes and @AdrianSoundy any idea how we could test that properly?
I still haven't looked into this.
Just downloaded the output from IDF and the thing that caught my attention was the TG1WDT_SYS_RESET
there.
From the looks of it, it seems that the sleep and wake up are happening correctly (that can be seen from the DEEPSLEEP_RESET
). What is messing things up seems to be something in the processing of the application. To be investigated...
There shouldn't be any TG1WDT_SYS_RESET being seen. I think originally this was disabled, This may not be the case now with IDF 4 builds. Will have to check. Task running too long before yielding, which is difficult to control with nanoCLR.
Also check that the power supply is good as that can cause random watch dog issues.
Is it possible that this got was sorted as a side effect of another fix?
I had a device which had been running for a week and it hadn't stopped. It was sitting on window sill then cleaner turned solar panel over when dusting so battery went flat...
I'm going to shift it out to window sill in garage where no one will touch it.
@KiwiBryn
Yes. Or maybe it was fixed upstream as we had a couple of bumps in IDF versions since you've reported this.
(these are the best sort of issues: they solve themselves 😅)
Waiting on your confirmation.
My test application has been running for a month doing an HTTP POST then DeepSleep for 6 minutes.
It looks like the issue has been sorted by some other fix/update.
Will leave running for another month just to double check
@KiwiBryn
@KiwiBryn nice! Thanks for the feedback and help on keeping the issue list tidy. 😉

Description
After a while (couple of hours to couple of days depending on how often app restarts) the sample application which uses EnableWakeupByTimer + StartLightSleep/StartDeepSleep stops working.(only tested with StartDeepSleep)
How to reproduce
I recorded sample of ptsv2 uploads from application start to stop.
ptsv220221004.txt
I wrote a quick 'n' dirty desktop console application to save debug output (from start to stop) to a file as TeraTerm/Arduino serial monitor/... could cope with some of the unprintable characters.
SerialOutput.bin.txt
Beware there are a lot of nulls and other unprintable characters in the .bin.txt file.
Sample code just rename and fill out SSID etc. Program.cs.txt
Expected behaviour
Should run for ever
Screenshots
No response
Aditional information
Every so often a couple of uploads are less than a minute apart which is odd.
The Debug.WriteLine's are just for checking that application connects on startup.
Had serial port logging but removed that to keep sample a small as possible, didn't see anything useful in output
