Good point. With any program, two things might happen:
(1) the hotel itself will want to check you out & in once every 30 days for their own legal/accounting purposes
(2) it might be in your own interest to check out & in at more frequent intervals, such as when your nights stayed would reach a status threshold, you're doing a nights-based promotion, or (obviously) if you're closing in on that 100k max at HH.
(Check outs/ins at the same hotel don't generally help you on stay-based promotions. Promotions still count it as 1 long stay unless you go somewhere else for a night.)
When I had a long-term RI stay near a client site a few years ago, the hotel gave me a monthly rate and we did a check-out each month. Also helped with my own expense reporting and had the side benefit of posting points/EQN to my account on a regular basis.
