As a general rule, dekatrons like to be spun. Providing you are operating them well within their anode current limits and the glow is moving around the tube they will be very happy for a long time. I do have a suspicion (that I cannot back up with data yet) that use rather than storage may be the best strategy for keeping the high speed tubes alive...
