protip: DO NOT LEAVE JUMP/RUN/ANYTHING AS THUMBSTICK press in any game, EVER if you want your controllers to last.
IMMEDIATELY go into controller bindings in steamvr dashboard or in the web interface and remap that function to some other unused button or a region on the thumbpad. 
For vrchat I recommend left A gesture toggle right a jump and release on handopen so that you don't have to physically hold things in a fist to keep them from falling away.
