Octoprint server would stop working after long idle. Like if I let the printer idle for days of non-use. I have to manually telnet into the octoprint raspberry pi unit to issue the server restart sudo command everytime.
What did you already try to solve it?
Don't know how to solve this problem, I think it's something with the coding timing out over long idle times
Have you tried running in safe mode?
No, didn't try safe mode.
Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Systeminfo Bundle
You can download this in OctoPrint's System Information dialog ... no bundle, no support!)
my print host is idling for days in between prints as well and the server doesn't stop.What you describe is not the usual behavior of octoprint.service
Might be a plugin (running in safe mode wd help exclude that), might be interference of some other installed program.
If there is any way at all to tell from remote what's happening for you that would start at the logs.
You chose to ignore the part about uploading a Systeminfo Bundle but I'd recommend to click on the links in your own post or this one, find out that it is quite easy to create and upload the systeminfo and thus open up the chance that you get better answers than just saying "tough luck".
Cause right now that's all that can be said.

Looking at octoprint.log and it covers the time between 2021-08-03 20:42:35,566 and 2021-08-03 20:44:57,311. Two and a half minutes. Did it capture that sort of service shutdown event you described?
I suspect it did not. There is a chance of better evidence if we have a log capturing that event. So, let it run as it is until the next shutdown event and retrieve the octoprint.log first thing after that could help.
Clearly thespaghettidetective is having a problem and while it is not evident this is the problem which causes your issue it sounds plausible. Even that short log time span caught 2 episodes of Janus quit! -errors. At that rate even a miniscule memory leak may inflict the service after some days. So, how do things work out when that plugin is disabled?
