May be time for a new toilet it it is older. Comfort height is nice.

I had a toilet that was a constant problem. Not only flushing issues,
but it seemed to back up far too often and no amount of snaking it would
help. One day I decided I had enough, and bought a new toilet. Problem
solved!

Toilets are not complicated like cars or electronics, but some of them
seem to just "wear out" over time, and no matter how many parts are
replaced they remain a pain in the ass. Life is too short to waste hours
screwing with a bad toilet, when a new toilet is not all the costly.
From what the OP said, he probably already spent half the cost of a new
toilet on flappers and other parts, and that dont include his time....
