Photon/P1 getting stuck and not reseting

I do not think so. In the case the device craps out so bad that it deactivates the software watchdog, your mission will still be toasted :fire:

Here's another reading you can do:

Lastly, @Rftop you always recommend a cheap timer for an external watchdog and I swear I ran a search and could not find the posts.
Can you tell me which one it is, please? Thanks!
