Hi there, I’m trying to setup Renovate for Nix on [crowci/crowci-flake](https://codefloe.com/crowci/crowci-flake). According to the [Renovate docs](https://docs.renovatebot.com/getting-started/installing-onboarding/#repository-re-configuration), I should be able to [create a PR](https://codefloe.com/crowci/crowci-flake/pulls/75) from a branch called `renovate/reconfigure`, and this should trigger a comment from renovate on the viability of the change? According to [Renovate | CodeFloe](https://docs.codefloe.com/usage/renovate/) the bot should run once an hour at 30 minutes past the hour. However even though I received the initial PR from renovate to setup the repo, I don’t seem to be getting subsequent updates from it. Is this because the repo was transferred from my user (johnhamelink) to the crowci org? Thanks, JH ---

> the bot should run once an hour at 30 minutes past the hour Right! However it didn’t for a few days after we integrated the upstream changes from the operator we’re running. This brought back a filter on the repo topic `renovate` and therefore excluded most repos. Discovery is now restored and your repo has been processed again! We’ll also post a bit more information about the updated setup soon so everyone’s is informed! ---

Thank you! As a new user to renovate I wasn’t sure if the issue was between the keyboard and the chair 😃 Appreciate it 🙂 ---

Hey there - one more (potential) issue. Renovate is now commenting on PRs, but after [merging](https://codefloe.com/crowci/crowci-flake/pulls/75), and checking the checkbox in the dependency dashboard to trigger an update, a [branch](https://codefloe.com/crowci/crowci-flake/commit/ce7cba496b5b80731d661e2c95fd84d7f88afbf8) was created, but no corresponding PR. Does this stem from a permissions issue perhaps? Thanks again! _ **EDIT** _: I merged that branch and then asked renovate to update again and this time I got a PR. ---

There’s nothing influenced from our side what and how renovate does in detail _when_ it runs. We’re only responsibly for the schedule of the runs and the webhook behaviour (more info about that soon).
