The watchdog thread waits on completion that is set from a timer. As the completion is count based this could mean that on a busy system the watchdog is handled multiple times with a very short interval. This is not the intended behaviour. After handling the watchdog it should wait for the next timer expiry. This is accomplished by reinitializing the completion.
