Pretty sure this is related to a fix/change in 15 that updated how timers/repeat counts/etc tracking in effects was handled. I see it too in that about once a minute, the effect running seems to “fade out” and then restart (one of the fairy light effects). Under 14.x it worked continuously.

From what I’m reading, a change in the effects code broke a few effects and it seems that is being fixed for 15.1.

You can read about a similar report (and think same problem) here:

> Was able to get .bin files (once I logged into github -Doh!). Resolves the issue as far as I have been able to watch, I quit after about 10 mins. As noted, the previous version was pretty consistent on my devices. Thanks to @dedehai for all the fast work! christmas_tree sunglasses

So for now, prolly either 1) live with it til 15.1 is released, 2) revert to 14.x or look for an try one of the 15.1 beta/nightly builds
