File watcher on Windows sometimes stops working for specific folders

Recently, I have encountered a few times a problem when one of the folders simply stopped detecting new changes. This is not common and seems to happen rarely, but once it does, only restarting Syncthing seems to fix the issue.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any debug logs to actually provide more detailed information, so this is more of a question than a proper support request. Do you have any idea what could cause potential file watching issues when it comes to Windows?

As for my configuration, I can only say that I have a lot of folders added to Syncthing. Some of then contain a lot of files that change very often. Are there any known limits in Windows regarding the number of file watched items, as it is the case in some other systems?

The issue has been happening in Windows 10 running Syncthing v1.18.x (custom built). The filesystem is just the default NTFS.
