I have had it slip with thirty and forty but it's weird... not catastrophic failure but it can slip a little at a time.
I usually leave a tag end sticking out about 3/16 of an inch but after a full day of fishing I've noticed a few times it's slipped down to 1/8. If I keep fishing it and the tag gets smaller and smaller, and eventually the knot will fail. So it's not so much slipping but like it's slowly working loose.
That said it's a great knot, you just have to retie it if the tag gets too short.
