Yes, on the recommendation of someone here, I used dynaplug - made a big dofference vs the bacon strips, which just slowly squirted out from the pressure.

I practiced with bacon strips in the garage, and a year later am still cleaning sealant off the cabinets 
It wasn’t slow, the bacon strip shot out like a cannon ball and sealant was spraying everywhere. Good times!

Mine took 2 weeks. Every ride I look down and think “gee…could have sworn the bacon strip had worn off.”
2 weeks later it’s completely out and I’m leaking sealant all over on my ride again

Noticed some extra grime on the seat post after my ride today and realized it was sealant. Ummm how did this get here? No idea when I punctured.
After some cleaning I found where it looks like the leak was. I lost maybe 3 psi? Should I just leave the tire as is?
Sealant is a fresh dose of Silca Fiber Foam. Seems like it did it’s job! Thinking I will add a bit of the replenisher.

Hard to tell, that could just be Road pick-up stuck to the tyre, try flicking it off?
Crazy! What sealant?
cafelatex by effeto mariposa, it seals really well though

How many ml of sealant did you install during the first round?
How many top offs occurred after that?

I never know exactly, the sealant foams so I err on the side if caution and inject probably too much. The tire this was from I had a lot of trouble getting it to keep pressure so I probably added more and because it got 2 larger punctures that required plugs I probably topped up a few times more
I got my new bike on dec 2021. came with tubeless. it is aug 2023 now. not a single puncture. mileage is 4000km though…

A good week for me is 321 km, close to 10% of your 18 month total….
i have 3 bikes. i switch between them…
My bike just ticked over 24,000 logged miles in just under 5 years. I had a few p’tures on the previous bike before I realised that the sealant was the issue. With this bike I had a blow out on a massive pothole but I was close enough to home to ring for a lift. So I didn’t even try to fix it. If I had been desperate I could have booted it and put a tube in. Whilst waiting for the lift I noticed that every driver swerved the crater so that would have wrecked any tyre. I have had clincher tyres wrecked at the same frequency.
I’ve probably posted before about how crap Muc-Off tape is, worst stuff I’ve ever used!
…but whatever brand tape I’d be surprised if that holds air effectively, as the tape looks a good 5mm+ too narrow to me. I like to cover the whole rim bed and partway up the sidewalls to give the sealant no options to escape!
Let us know if that works out, but if not you’ll have an idea what to try next

Yep, that’s what I’ve been using to, um, encourage the tape to be more flexible. When all else fails, I use gorilla tape. One layer. and done. (then I discover that it was the seal between the rim and valve stem…)
My not-so-local-but-really-good bike shop uses Muc-Off tape. Over the last year I’ve had it on 2 sets of wheels - no problems holding air.
My tape job - held air overnight.
This is the only problem with it:
pulling back after 8+ months:
So this time I sealed the end with a heat gun:
That I normally use for shrink wrap tubing.
Just for attempting to seal off the end, and hopefully prevent the problem above.
No shop that I’ve used does that. And here is the manual for the wheels:
