It’s different ones. One controlled my daughters room, one that controlled the back wall of the kitchen, and the latest one controlled the smoke detectors. they all went out at different times. When they start going out, they typically trip every few days and gradually get to multiple times a day.
Is it possible to switch to a ground fault breaker? They’re cheaper than the arc faults.

Per code or not?
Lots of people get tired of AFCI and simply swap them to normal breakers. But, per code they are required in living spaces.
I’m not sure you have them on “back wall of kitchen” or on “smoke detectors”. Not sure they’re required there, but I’ll defer to actual electricians.
I have them for all my bedrooms and living room, but not other circuits.
