Individual TCP connections don't need to live that long. Once a macOS system reaches 49.7 days of uptime, this bug starts affecting all TCP connections.

Current `uptime` on my work MacBook (macOS 15.7.4):

    17:14  up 50 days, 22 mins, 16 users, load averages: 2.06 1.95 1.94
Am I supposed to be having issues with TCP connections right now? (I'm not.)

My personal iMac is at 279 days of uptime.

Sure they do. They need to live until torn down.

They almost never do live that long, for whatever reason, but they should.
