Auto loop issues

[🌸𝓐𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓵𝓪🌸]

I created an auto-loop path for my character. It's supposed to run on that path in an endless loop. I also tried the same loop with a horse (to level it up).

The problem I have is that this loop is interrupted totally randomly. What I see is that my character stops running (or in the case of a horse, it stops running), and then it just stands at one place.
Sometimes the loop is broken after a few 10-minutes, sometimes after a few hours.
One thing is certain, I left it run at night, and it's always getting interrupted, so 8-10 hours are surely too much.^^

Some things I've checked:
- I don't think there would be a networking issue as I'm not getting disconnected from the black desert server, I also don't experience lags (neither in other games).
- There are no obstacles, such as walking into a fence or wall or something.
- I tested the loop a number of times and it seems to work - occasionally for hours.
- Just to be safe, the loop is entirely contained within a safe zone.

Questions:

I use a laptop. Do you think some kind of low power option/power save feature, or screen saver / (screen turn off) can interrupt my loop?

What causes the issue in your opinion and how could I fix this loop?

First of all, do you minimize to tray, to save your PC power, it will definitely let it run much cooler! (choose Disconnect, then choose the "minimize to tray" option)
I go to a smaller town, where there aren't any other afk'ers, or just a few.
Always verify your loop as working before going afk. ( i see you mentioned doing this but i included it anyway!}
Choose a safe zone, because PK's can run by and attack just enough to knock you off your mount or off your circuit, then run off.
BDO is known to have memory leaks also, so you may want to restart your PC before an extended AFK period.

I agree with CrackeR and will add a few observations as someone who has auto-looped a LOT (I have one 87th level horse, another 70th level horse and lots and ltos of 30+ horses).

1. Anything that uses up too much of your PC's resources will interrupt the loop. For instance, I cannot play Fallout 4 in all-ultra with 4k resolution while auto-looping a horse, but I can play simple 2D games, graphic novels, audiobooks, YouTube streaming and almost anything else. Basically you have to make sure BDO has enough resources to play without hiccups. Being minimized to tray or not doesn't make a difference with this regard.

2. Any ISP interruption of even tiny length is going to interrupt your loop. BDO is not like Grand Theft Auto Online (which allows up to nearly 10 seconds of interruption without issue). BDO is more like Red Dead Online which means you can't play if you have any issues at all with internet.

3. Find a straight a path as you can for your loop. The reason is that if you have a performance hit the horse will be unable to handle turns or curves. The straighter the path the more resistant your loop will be to competing PC resources.

4. Train in Elvia. Make your loop, switch to Elvia, get on your horse, put on your horse training gear if applicable, set sprint if applicable, and loop. Then, if you wish, minimize to tray. The advantages of Elvia are there are no NPCs, no animals, no critters, no wandering fauna and just as importantly fewer players. In other words, Elvia requires less PC resources for your loop.

I noticed my loops often get interrupted by Pearl Abyss advert notifications at bottom right of screen. Wish they would stop doing that, or provide an ad-free option.
Good on you for bringing this point up.
