if left to run for over a few hours

I don't see a reason why it would be a problem. The code does very very little beyond exactly what is required to decode the bits. There is a small memory of stuff, but only used to keep track of the bits coming in. If it's been longer than 3 seconds since the bits came in, then that memory is reset.

In short, I can't see any reason why it would be a problem, but I never actually tested this in production.
