After you've discovered N-1 pods, the chance of 10 consecutive probes all landing on already-seen pods (missing the last one) is:

• 2 pods → (1/2)^10 ≈ 0.1% — negligible
• 4 pods → (3/4)^10 ≈ 5.6% — non-trivial (~1 in 18 runs leaves a pod untouched)
• 8 pods → (7/8)^10 ≈ 26% — likely to miss at least one

The termination condition is 10 consecutive no-new-cookie probes — so as cluster size grows the risk of stopping too early increases significantly. Bumping POD_DISCOVERY_TRIES to 30+ for Premium instances would help, or switching to a fixed total probe count (e.g. 50 probes, collect all unique cookies seen) removes the statistical risk entirely.

Consider increasing this to significantly decrease the chance of missing a pod on premium instances.
