 Is the feed required in this loop, or can I leave it out and rely on the WDT to be fed when app_sched_execute starts?

So I think your workaround is good.&lt;/p&gt;

I have a follow-up question:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I did it the way we proposed, but the chip was waking up for advertising and heartbeats by itself (as it is supposed to do).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This caused the CPU to run and the watchdog to tick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;`power_manage` did not return though, so the watchdog was never fed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So, by just maintaining a BLE connection, without writing any data, the watchdog eventually overran.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;What would be your solution to this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I solved this by hooking on to radio events and feeding the watchdog there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thanks!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Watchdog automatically fed after wakeup?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/453247?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Oct 2023 11:47:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:da691b41-44c2-4485-9a43-410cf63496db</guid><dc:creator>Kenneth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You (the application) will need to feed the watchdog during wakeup yes, if it doesn&amp;#39;t run in sleep, then placing it right after wakeup seems like a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;
