COMMENTS
For terms < 2000 each palindrome is reached from the preceding one or from the start in at most 24 steps; after the presumably last one no further palindrome is reached in 2000 steps.
EXAMPLE
The trajectory of 25 begins 25, 77, 154, 605, 1111, 2222, 4444, 8888, 17776, 85547, 160105, 661166, 1322332, 3654563,7309126, ...; at 7309126 it joins the (presumably) palindrome-free trajectory of A063048(7) = 10577, hence 77, 1111, 2222, 4444, 8888, 661166 and 3654563 are the seven palindromes in the trajectory of 25 and 25 is a term.
