Recently, I saw someone set contract/wallet permissions to "unlimited," basically giving out the keys without any threshold. When something goes wrong, you don't even have time to react. Revoking permissions is like sleeping: if you don't do it now, you won't feel it, and if you really need it, it's deadly. My current habit is: after interaction, I quickly revoke; if I can use a one-time limit, I won't be lazy—it's just two clicks anyway, not a big deal.
By the way, the funding rates have been extremely volatile these days, and the group is arguing whether to reverse or keep squeezing the bubble. I'm actually more worried that during such times, I might impulsively click on new links or new contracts. When emotions run high, it's easy to overlook those "long-term" hanging traps in the authorization list.
As for "long-term," I'm not dogmatic. For me, it's more like about a quarter: enough to see one round of incentive distribution, whether buybacks are truly executed, and if users really stick around. Shorter than that, many projects look pretty good, but once the unlock happens, the truth comes out. For now, I’ll just clear a few old authorizations.
