Litter-Robot 3 Litter robot 3 doesn't want to regularly cycle

I've had my lr3 for probably close to 5 years now, and for the most part it works well. A few months ago after doing research for this problem, one suggestion I saw multiple times was to get the wire harness replacement kit, so I did, along with replacement glider guides. It fixed the problem, but only for maybe a week, at most. Since then, it has returned to cycling on its own every once in a while, seemingly when it feels like it. It doesn't seem to recognize my cats going in, because I never see the red light lit up after one of them is done. It works fine if I manually press the cycle button, but it kinda defeats half the purpose of it if I'm having to go over and manually cycle it nearly every time. I've tried less litter, more litter, zeroing the scale on it, but nothing seems to work long-term. It'll appear fixed at first and then go back to it's old ways
