I’ve been doing this since CoOViD. Previously I never used butter because it’s too hard from the fridge and “everyone knows” you need to refrigerate it.
However I started doing a lot more cooking, so it’s always been finished before it goes bad:
FDA recommendation 3 days on counter
“rule of thumb” 1 week on counter
some streamers claim 2 weeks
I’m not even sure what “going bad” means for butter. I have seen it change color so the outside is darker than inside, and threw it out. But ive never noticed an off taste or smell.
I live in a hot enough climate I can’t do it all year, but my butter is out except for summer. I keep it in a container that I can pull a vacuum on since a lot of spoliage is basically oxidation.
Butter, so do, some don’t.
EXCUSE ME??! BUTTER?! IT’S DAIRY OH MY GOD
Stick always in the butter dish for room temp and spreadable. Also for frying up stuff. Rest of it, in the fridge.

It never makes it past a week at our household with three kids
Wait 'til y’all find out about butter bells.
