I think the reason behind the changing of the max age for posts for the bots to 3.5 days could be related to this account I have seen going around and downvoting posts that use bots with a max age of over 3.5. I guess the account was getting fed up with people waiting till day 6 to pay for upvotes and thus avoid any risk of the change in price of steem, this is just my guess though.

That does not make much sense. ROI on bots is just as likely to be negative as positive, take a look at the numbers I pulled together in the table. Even if the numbers are positive, 50% goes back into Steem Power. Most people will have less liquid SBD after post payout than before bidding on a bot. Also, why 3.5 days? 2 days makes more sense, that is around the time posts start to drop off the trending lists.
thats a good question. Still i think the account name was grumpycat or something like that so you may want to be cautious of using bots without this age limit, just a heads up
Yup, cool.
