Update: A client from 2018 just paid me after I'd written it off

My accountant was doing my taxes and asked about an old invoice. I told him the guy ghosted after the third revision request, so I gave up. He said 'You know, a five year old debt is still a debt. Send one more email.' I did, and got a check for $800 the next week. When do you guys decide to stop chasing a payment?

My old boss had a hard rule to send three reminders over 90 days before writing it off.
