Virtual LED LAG and userinterface access issues

[jonny190]

What happened?

2 or 3 times a day i need to restart a dedicated WLED isntance that is used to controll 5 other WLED instances with the actual LEDS connected to them totalling 1072.

The LEDS are almost always set to rainbow pattern and the pattern starts to be unstable on the output instances and equally i loose access to the webUI

To Reproduce Bug

Rainbow Color
Rainbow Pattern
using all 1072 LEDS as a giant strip

Expected Behavior

Pattern to flow smoothly

Install Method

Binary from WLED.me

What version of WLED?

0.15-b7 2410270

Which microcontroller/board are you seeing the problem on?

ESP32-S3

Relevant log/trace output

Post device reset using insatall.wled.me the output is

USB_UART_CHIP_RESET may be a hint. what is connected to the USB?

[jonny190]

@DedeHai is that not because I triggered a device reset via the install.wled.me page to get some form of logs, as apart from that I get no log output

[DedeHai]

you need to install a debug version to get more output.
could be several things:

• unstable power supply
• home assistant
• memory leak (check available heap from time to time to make sure it does not get smaller)

[jonny190]

I've tried powering via a Meanwell 5v PSU, Via a 18650 battery and via USB (both computer and phone charger)

Same issue occurs when Home Assistant has the device disabled

Ive just recompiled with the debug flags and while the symptoms are active took a dump of the logs while the webUI wasnt loading:

I'm not sure what to make of the logs and i cannot get to the webUI to get the available heap.

Hopefully the above is help to someone as i'm at a loss
