Does this constantly monitor temp? Or do you have to cycle/activate it periodically?

It constantly measures the temperature.

Can the thermometer tip remain immersed in hot cooking oil? Seems designed to, with clip, but a recent question remarks the directions say otherwise.

I don’t know … the directions say “ do not leave the thermometer inserted in food during cooking “ ….this may mean in meats in the oven since it does come with a pot clip . Directions also say “ do not leave exposed to extreme high or low temperatures, since this will damage electronic parts and plastic.” To me it sounds like it’s ok to clip to a pot for cooking candy but not to leave it in an oven if testing meat temp. The directions are very confusing but since it comes with a pot clip I think it’s ok to immerse in hot candy . Maybe need to ask the seller

Is this leave in candy temperature gauge accurate, durable and does it have a protective sleeve to store it in when not in use?

I use mine for making maple syrup which requires pretty specific temps. I always check boiling point of water before each use or if I bump it a lot. Any difference from 212 I use as correction factor. I store mine in the box it came in. No sleeve or cover comes with but a short piece of soft tubing from hardware store would do fine. I like this thermometer and will buy again in future

Does the probe hang close to the edge of the pot or can you angle the probe toward the center of the pot? I am not referring to the pivoting display

Similar to other thermometers, there is a clip that attaches to the side of the pot. The sensor is suspended approximately a quarter inch from the edge of the pot. You can adjust the vertical position, but no, there is not a tilting mechanism that would allow you to sample the temperature from the center of the pot.
