A138371 Count of post-period decimal digits up to which the rounded n-th convergent to A058265 agrees with the exact value.
0, 1, 2, 5, 8, 7, 10, 11, 10, 12, 15, 17, 17, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 32, 34, 35, 35, 36, 36, 38, 40, 40, 42, 42, 42, 43, 44, 43, 45, 46, 47, 47, 49, 52, 51, 52, 54, 54, 55, 57, 59, 59, 60, 60, 60, 61, 61, 62, 62, 64, 64, 66, 67, 69, 71, 73, 74

Examples
For n=4, the 4th convergent is 103/56 = 1.83928571..., with a sequence of rounded representations 2, 1.8, 1.84, 1.839, 1.8393, 1.83929, 1.839286, 1.8392857 etc. Rounded to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 post-period decimal digits, this is the same as the rounded version of the exact value, but disagrees if both are rounded to 6 decimal digits, where 1.839287 <> 1.839286. So a(4) = 5 (digits), the maximum rounding level with agreement.
