Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the database unreachable during the service's sleep interval, then trace the db-sync service entry point that handles recurring synchronization. Confirm the service continues syncing after the database becomes reachable again, while preserving the documented --single-run cron workaround.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When an error occurs, for example when db is unreachable, db-sync service completely stop and do not sync anymore after sleep time.

Note that it is possible to run dbsync using cron and option --single-run as a workaround.
