After upgrading to 24.11 DHCP fails every 10-14 days

I agree with what bmeeks said above about 32 bit arm code.
Then don't release 24.11 for 32-arm and just EOL those platforms. Don't lead affected customers down an unstable path. Just end the support instead of introducing unstable code for the platform.
By telling customers that 24.11 is the preferred release that implies it works for your platform.
The conflicting messaging as to what's preferred, deprecated, supported, potentially unstable, etc. was not handled clearly.

I too have an SG-3100.
Only since I updated the version to 24.11 from 24.08 has my network been flaking out.
All the devices, and I have like 50 wifi lamps, 40 IOT Switches, four Ubiquiti Wireless AP's + Cloud Key ... it's been infuriating not to have wifi to interrogate stuff...The items with Static Mappings seem to keep their leases.
So my desktop, the router, manage to still talk to one another.
I've switched back to the depreciated ISC, and unticked "warn that that's it's depreciated".
Lets see if that fixes it.I presumed I was on Kea before the software upgrade, but to be honest, I just can't remember, I don't seem to have full control of home configurations in my 40's with kids , like I used to when I was single in my 20's...
Time to upgrade to 64-bit you say... old thin machine or NUC with some 2.5Gbps interfaces you say...

@electr1c0xyg3n I have a 3100 too and have noted that in relation to Kea DHCP
- Logging is not the same as on 64bit devices, seems like the logs just don't get populated for some reason
- The DHCP service exits without warning occasionally (think it runs out of memory or something) so you MUST run the Service Watchdog ensure it restarts
I am planning on moving to a new router soon as the throughput of the 3100 is unlikely to keep up with my new 1Gb broadband soon to be installed. Most likely I will move to Ubiquiti due to the cost of Netgate hardware optinos.

Allow me to propose something else :
If kea fails with error 6, check RAM usage. Free up RAM if needed.
If it keeps failing, don't fight it. Go ISC.After all, if '6' arrives, ditching the process and start it again ... the '6' point will come back.

Given the service could crash at any time (and every occurence I've seen it has been out of hours, overnight or at some other really inconvenient time) and the lack of working DHCP basically makes networks unusable I would rather the service recover itself.
Also given this is on Netgate hardware (rather than a VM or other system I can upgrade) there is little I can do about ram either usage or availability. Here is a snapshot of when the system is running normally:
The Kea service does work functionally most of the time, and as I am planning on ditching the box soon I don't intend to spend any time investigating what is now just a minor annoyance as the service auto-restarts on failure. -
Those resource utilization numbers are typical for my installation running pfBLockerNGdev.
I've not seen an error 6, only error 11.
