Tubes have many different operating points. A 6SN7 in one amp can be operated differently in another circuit. If break in happens, the period would depend on the amp.
I don't leave tube gear on 24/7, either. You have to give your equipment time to cool off. Every component has a lifespan and heat is the number one enemy. If parts never get a chance to cool dow, their lifespan is a lot shorter.
