Another tip related to Neil’s: wrap code in three backticks ` that way it displays as code and not regular text.
For example:

One thing to try is changing the cable (and any adapters) that connect it to your Mac. If you have access to another Mac, try it on there too, in case it is the original machine's port that's the problem.
It probably isn't that, but it'll be one of the first things on any "connected peripherals" support script so it's good to get in early.
I tried changing the cable and hub. I will try another mac just to be sure. thanks very much !
IIRC, they tell you not to use a hub. Try a direct connection, to take that out of the equation.
Dimly remembered -- I think it is to do with power draw and even a powered hub can struggle if you've other power-hungry devices plugged in, like an external HD. At which point I shall hand this back to the SD gurus, who'll know a lot more about real-world use than I do!
I tried connecting directly to the mac. The problem persists, but thank you for the suggestion.
It's funny: I thought that the fact that an app (in this case stream deck) gets into a loop of quitting and re-launching, would immediately trigger a shortlist of common causes. I say this because the problem is so specific.
Well, you've (probably) eliminated hardware problems. While I don't know that a "fluttering" Deck would cause the software to quit/relaunch, I've seen similar with other peripherals. Plus it's an easy one to cross off the list.
Is that the complete log file? You mention "every few minutes", but that's only 6 seconds-worth. Did it crash at that point?
Next time it does crash, look in ~/Library/Logs/StreamDeck and open StreamDeck0.log and StreamDeck1.log. You're looking for the time points just before and just after the crash/restart (and I don't know when the app will rotate its log files). The entries just prior to the crash might give you a clue -- the "just relaunched" bit will include a bunch of int main() lines, if that helps you zoom in.
I'm hoping there'll be consistent references to something the app is trying to do...
The other thing to ask yourself with these "it was working then but isn't now" problems is -- what's changed?

I will look at the logs and try to figure it out.
What has changed ? Now that I think about it, Mac OS upgrade from 12.6.2 to 12.6.3
thanks again

hello @noisneil and @cdthomer
Thanks to both of you, I using my stream deck all day to trigger KM macros.
As I create new pages and profiles, I have to move many buttons from one page or profile to another
With one button, a simple copy paste does the job. Have you found a way to batch move (batch copy paste) multiple buttons ?
thank you very much
I haven't unfortunately. I'm just waiting for an XL to arrive, as it happens. Exciting times! 
Hey @ronald, I am not aware of any way to do this unfortunately. The good thing is though, at least in my case, is once I got the initial profiles/pages setup how I liked, I don’t change them very often.
thank you @cdthomer and @noisneil
Last week, I installed the Elgato Stream Deck ios app as suggested by a forum member, and it is incredible. I revived an old generation one iPad Pro 2016 with a generation one apple pencil.
An 8 x 8 matrix with 64 touch buttons and obviously unlimited pages and profiles. A dream come true because I was getting a bit tired of the Stream Deck 's mechanical buttons. I see no disadvantages with the ipad for the moment.
The ios software works exactly like the Mac OS software.

I've been tempted by Touch Portal, as it's a one-time purchase and I try to avoid subscription models. However, so far the free 6-button version of the Stream Deck Mobile app does the job when I need to control my mac from another room. It's basic but it's good enough for now and I like being able to set it up in the same desktop app.

Neil, good luck with the Stream Deck XL! I am loving mine.
But..it stays home. So I'm very much looking forward to BTT Andreas's new remote app for iOS. Fingers crossed...
