Contracts keep renewing, locking collateral

[NickJH]

Current Behavior

Note this is all from a hoster's perspective.

Some contracts start off and very quickly renew, presumably increasing their collateral. The keep doing this and it ends up locking up a lot of collateral. I have 3 contracts like this:

Initial contract 3fa5e6ed6ac3d793498d3a050aa0791fad0d92929059d0e4fcb5a93aeda7cf65, end block of all 484,453:

Renewal Date	Locked Collateral
26/06/2024	102.949
28/06/2024	9.355
28/06/2024	139.539
29/06/2024	167.406
01/07/2024	200.877
02/07/2024	241.136
03/07/2024	289.492
05/07/2024	347.990
06/07/2024	418.039
08/07/2024	501.341
13/07/2024	598.501
20/07/2024	716.120

Initial contract ac286c61db1bdd4758be9eb4371b4b62aa181ccfb05d8b6b2e2f571d7454db88, end block of all contracts 483,170:

Renewal Date	Locked Collateral

26/06/2024	279.068
29/06/2024	452.448
02/07/2024	542.825
05/07/2024	654.122
08/07/2024	784.731
17/07/2024	932.001

Initial contract aec22caafaf2df2394c0321df3c1a9ff37ba3e649835e8f3086512c687f99662, end block of all contracts 487,569:

Renewal Date	Locked Collateral
18/07/2024	30.900
19/07/2024	50.172
19/07/2024	60.177

The first and third are the worst with the quickest renewal rate. It is tying up a lot of collateral.

Expected Behavior

I want to see less tied up in collateral so less frequent contract renewals - but this may become irrelevant after the hardfork.
