When your borrowing position is three steps away from the liquidation line, I usually don't rush to add leverage first. Instead, treat yourself as an ordinary person who could be ruthlessly liquidated by the system: first, slightly improve your health factor (add some collateral or repay a portion), then check your automation setups again, especially on cross-chain operations—don't get stuck there, a half-hour delay on the bridge can be deadly. Also, adjust your warning threshold to be earlier, or you'll forget when you're busy.

Later, I realized that the easiest way to get wrecked isn't a market plunge, but thinking "the on-chain process is quick" and that wallet signing is smooth. When encountering new L1/L2s that congested due to incentive-driven TVL pulls, everyone is mining, selling, and stuck like rush hour traffic... Basically, when you're three steps away from the red line, first ensure you can act, repay, or withdraw. Accept a poor experience if needed—just stay alive.
