Hit 10,000 parts on one spindle without changing a tool, never expected that

I run a Haas VF-2 and was tracking tool life on a production run of aluminum brackets (3/8 end mill), figured I'd get maybe 3,500 parts before it dulled out. Pushed it to 10,000 just out of curiosity and the surface finish was still within spec, which totally blew my mind. Anyone else ever had a tool run way longer than you thought it would?
