I just got my 29th roll (135/36) out of the 1L kit mixed last October. The manual suggested 16 rolls.
Still no awful colour shift that can't be corrected by VueScan's Auto Level.
A sample image from this roll:
I saw 25 rolls as a highest record on some other forums
How many rolls have you developed in your 1L kit?

do you prepare the entire solution of the bottles in one time?

Lenses 35/21 Gears 46/20
After two+ years (stored in refrigerator) and similar amount of films I finally tossed it out. For no real reason...

Yes.
I store the solutions in plain IKEA glass bottles, not the hi-tech accordion ones as people suggested. All in my fridge.

It depends what your quality aspect will be. When printing in RA-4 the C-41 negatives it stops around 20 films.

I'm always curious about "how off is off" for C-41 colour negatives since I have no experience in printing.
Is there a way to tell if the developed negatives are not suitable (too much colour shift) for RA-4 printing by only checking the digital scanning?

Well in RA-4 you come to a situation which you can not filter out the color shift anymore. In digital P.S. correction you have more possibilities.
In most kits your Blix or Bleach/Fixer is at the end the limiting factor. You can prolong the times for this but at a certain moment it is going in saturation.
However you can regenerate Blix by sparking with Nitrogen (N2). Air is almost 80% of this so you can use an air pump for this.
Further regeneration for the color developer is possible, even after 4-6 months not in use.
Like this type of airpump. Very simple but effective.
