without change OTP (so with the default behavior)

=> yes the watchdog IWDG is running without way to stop it.

it is a SoC design choice => the default behavior is watchdog is running 
in standby and stop, so you need to reload it

That imply the limit of the duration of max duration of standby to avoid 
reset....

and the usage of IWDG pre-timeout in this case it a good place to wakeup 
the SoC

and add sanity checks (check the system is still running) before to 
reload it.
