Question About Watchtower (lemmy.world)

So, I finally installed Watchtower to auto update my containers. I was a little hesitant because just letting apps auto update kind of makes me a little nervous. Even Windows updates give me bouts of trepidation. Everything went well, there was a little hiccup with Netdata but resolved in less than 5 minutes.

My question is that there are four remaining containers that haven't been updated: Speedtest Tracker, Portainer, Doppler Task, and Dockge.

Is this indicative of an issue? Do I just need to update these four manually or will Watchtower eventually update them?

Additionally, has anyone ever had any problems with auto updating? It does make me a bit nervous, however I think I will get used to relying on Watchtower.

Apologies. My bad....I misunderstood. Tags/Labels.... To answer your question, no I am not running any tags. I just checked and all but two have updated, so it might be as a lot of people have suggested. It'll get around to it. Sorry for my confusion.
