Same here.

Wanting to test the reliability of Estonian eID and the "eeprom write
operations limit" thing from Wikipedia (as the card has a usage
counter) a similar script was tested against it. It ran for maybe a
month and half and was not restarted after a machine restart, and I
also changed during the test cycle warm reset of the card to a powerup
reset before every operation and the counter was around 2.something
million signatures and card working properly last time I checked.

The test should be countinued, as the counter is "only" 3 bytes long ... ;(
