5.1.12 Watchdog

The watchdog is basically a timer with a separate clock source. It will, if enabled, contribute to the power consumption in sleep. The watchdog can only be clocked by the internal 32 kHz Ultra Low Power (ULP) oscillator, prescaled to 1 kHz.

To minimize the power consumption, disable the watchdog.
