Since I started tracking testnet points, my mindset has noticeably changed: originally it was just practice, but once I started thinking about "how much it might be worth," I easily get hooked. Even though it's just a couple of interactions, I can't stop. To put it simply, practice turns into expectations, and expectations push you to increase time and risk.

My stop-loss is now very simple: set a limit for each chain / each bridge, and stop when it exceeds; if I find myself frequently cross-chain, repeatedly authorizing, or using unfamiliar contracts just to run more tests, that's a red flag. I've seen enough of the inflation + studio + coin price spiral in blockchain games, the more competitive it gets, the less valuable it becomes, and testnet points might follow the same path. Anyway, I prefer to earn less than to risk safety and energy.
