+Gmail and Outlook push notification subscriptions expire periodically and must be renewed. The Docker Compose setup includes a `cron` container that handles this automatically.

+**If you're not using Docker Compose** (e.g., running directly, Kubernetes, etc.), you need to set up a cron job to call the watch renewal endpoint every 6 hours:
+
+```bash
+0 */6 * * * curl -s -X GET "https://yourdomain.com/api/watch/all" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_CRON_SECRET"
