Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When I reach around year 2300-2350 with around 1k pop my game freezes almost every month exactly at day 2. Sometimes it is for couple of seconds, but sometimes it is for around 10 seconds and it's quite annoying and ruining the pace of the game. It is happening mostly when using the fastest speed option, but I noticed it on normal and fast speeds as well. It acts just as if I have pressed the pause button. It lags so much that if I select a new research or to build some ships/soldiers it doesn't register it immediately visually, but I hear the clicking sound. This happens on a new game. I am only using visual mods Ironmode compatible.
Montu Plays made a 7 hour play testing the AI and he was experiencing the exact same issue and he plays without mods.

time stamps showing delays on day two 3:28:00 (quite brief, but it shows the issue is starting to accumulate)
5:08:10
7:02:50
7:02:58 - this one is a lot longer and similar to the ones I am experiencing and the next month it loads a lot faster day 2, so it isn't a consistent issue, but is happening way too much.
07:05:51
07:06:00 - around 3 seconds pause.

I am using AMD Ryzen 7 2700, Windows 10.
I've read that several other people experience the exact same issue (comments under Steam Libra news notes) and some claimed that those pauses continue for minutes.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Reaching mid to lategame and around the repeatable techs time using faster/fastest options seem to trigger more frequent freezing. The issue happened on low naval fleet of just ~400, but it took some time. It was happening way more when I was having around 2500 naval fleet.

Can confirm.

Later in the game, the whole thing would just stop though I could still look at windows and popups. It lags for a good 10-15 seconds for me. Always on an even numbered month on the 2nd day. Usually the 4th, 6th, or 8th month.

I have all the expansions and was not using Mods.

Hi, I'm also having this issue in the mid- to late-game.

The game freezes on the second day of every month in Libra 3.3.4, sometimes for up to a minute or so during the late game. It's most noticeable during multiplayer when everyone else is waiting for my PC to catch up. My processor is a Ryzen 5 3600X so I thought it might be a Ryzen issue but my brother has a Ryzen 5 5600X and he isn't getting this issue at all.

I have all the expansions and the only mod I use is Stefan's Tech Tiers. The last version where I wasn't getting this issue was 3.3.2.

Hopefully this helps.

I am experiencing the same issue, Version Libra v 3.3.4 (67b9)

Running on 12900k i9, 32GB RAM, Stellaris is using approx 1180MB of RAM.

However no MODs and only Horizon Signal, Synthetic Dawn and Utopia DLCs.
The game has reached the year 2537. POPs are at 5691 and fleet capacity is at 4000.

Freezes last for anywhere from 1 min to 10 min every 2nd day of every month, usually only an issue if I have lots of ships moving.

Similar issue here with AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Quad-Core Processor × 8, 16GB RAM, Nvidea GTX 1080Ti. Ubuntu MATE. Libra v 3.3.4 (67b9). All expansions apart from Aquatic Species. No Mods.

Others have not mentioned it but the UI is fine and I can click and inspect everything but the game just stays on 2nd of the month (most of the time it seems to be April) for periods up to 10 mins (maybe longer in some cases). Also seems to be prominent end-game.

I got stellaris and all its dlcs and been running it for some time. It used to run fine, but with this new update my game freezes on day two of every 2-3 months. The standard lag time for me is about 40 seconds, and this isnt even late or mid game, its barely a decade in.

To anyone still dealing with this issue, you can stop it by disabling the Auto Cloud Save option
