The beam stability of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) has seen many improvements over the years and has matured to a state where progress is slow and maintaining the best stability is becoming the main challenge. Single sources which are identified by various means contribute to only about 10 to 20% of the whole jitter power, meaning that their elimination gives only a small improvement of 5 to 10%. New sources need to be identified fast. Especially slow variations of a few seconds to minutes time scale are often hidden and partially corrected by feedback systems. A few episodes of increased jitter have shown the limitations of some of the feedback systems. Stability for all dimensions, transverse, longitudinal, and intensity are presented.
