The problem

It looks like the Signal-CLI device that is linked to a given Signal profile during setup needs to be "opened" every 25-30 days otherwise it times out and must be relinked?

What is the best practice for getting around this / mitigatng this?

Are you using the latest released version?

Have you read the troubleshooting page?

What type of installation are you running?

signal-cli-rest-api Docker Container

In which mode are you using the docker container?

Normal Mode

What's the architecture of your host system?

x86-64

I don't think there is much you can do here. See also: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007320551-Linked-Devices

Your phone does not have to be online for the linked device to work, but it will unlink after 30 days of inactivity.

The alternative is to use a dedicated phone number for the API.

So there isn't any command we can hit the API with to have it trigger what would be perceived as an "opened app" event?
