I got this error for my bots in log right after they died. what does this mean? ("Kick out Delay exceeded: name")

It means they didn't send a single packet for a while, so the zone assumes that they lagged out.

Maybe the bots don't recognize that they are not receiving packets from the server. They should be timing themselves out as well. What core?

They are merv bots, latest core.

Somehwre in the Merv core, there should be some code that, after recv() fails, checks to see how long it's been since any packet was received. There probably should also be a check of how long it's been since the oldest reliable packet has been waiting for an acknowledgement.

Is the bot in spec?

And Ekted, nothing in MERV is that simple.
