Have a great Sunday!

As someone in the food industry I would say if you are not using a butter bell please put your butter back in the fridge after 2-3 hours. Butter can be left out but not for long periods of time. (just my two cents)

Butter can sit out at room temperature for up to 2 hours. After that, it is recommended to either use or refrigerate the butter to prevent any bacterial growth.
No, it is not recommended to leave butter out overnight as it can spoil and become unsafe to consume.
If butter has gone bad, it will have a rancid smell and taste. It may also have a discolored appearance or mold growth.
It is not recommended to leave butter out in a covered dish as it can still spoil due to the moisture trapped in the container. It is best to use a butter dish with a lid that allows air to circulate.
Whipped butter can sit out at room temperature for up to 4 hours. After that, it is recommended to refrigerate to maintain its whipped texture.
