cross-seed reset-api-key

cross-seed clear-indexer-failures

caution

This should be used sparingly, and never repeatedly (back-to-back) in a short period, to clear failures that are otherwise latent/expired or erroneous in Prowlarr/Jackett due to indexers being down.

Usage

cross-seed clear-indexer-failures

cross-seed inject
