Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Among the first 10000 terms, the least term is a(3)=2, the largest terms are a(8109)=a(9716)=169.
Next records are a(16357)=178, a(27716)=181, a(62716)=191, a(84339)=196, a(358303)=197, a(470452)=214.
Is the sequence unbounded?
EXAMPLE
a(1)=60, see A202211;
a(2)=5 because sequence is {3, 5, 17, 45, 45, 21, 25, 25, 21, 25, 25, 21, 25, 25, 21,..}, non-periodic part is npp={3, 5, 17, 45, 45} with #nnp=5, after which there is a periodic part pp={21, 25, 25} with #pp=3.
