Sold a covered call I was sure would expire worthless, got assigned anyway on the last possible tick

Written weeks out, way OTM, felt like free money the whole time. Stock ground higher slower than expected but steadily enough to close a few cents ITM at expiration — no alert in time to roll. Gave up shares I wanted to keep for a strike I would've laughed at a month ago. Still profitable overall, but the "why didn't I just roll at 80% max profit like always" regret is real. Anyone else finally get punished the one week you didn't manage a position you'd ignored successfully for months?
