>your body gets used to the potion
It's been a really long time since I've read the novel but isn't that a lie they tell to goons who aren't told about acting and what's actually happening is the potion is gradually getting digested by minor amounts of acting that occur in day-to-day life?

No. Any sources of corruption can cause someone to lose control. Potions are a major source of corruption but this also includes going places you shouldn't, learning things you shouldn't, etc.
Digesting potions reduces the corruption they cause and at lower sequences this is enough to fully mitigate the risks of getting corrupted by the potion. At higher sequences, beyonders can't fully mitigate corruption from their potions and need to balance it with other forms of corruption, like worship.
