gws-events-renew is a Google Workspace CLI skill that renews or reactivates Workspace Events subscriptions via gws events +renew before they expire.
About
gws-events-renew documents the gws events +renew command of the Google Workspace CLI, which renews or reactivates Google Workspace Events subscriptions before they expire. It supports --name to renew a specific subscription and --all with a --within window to renew everything expiring soon. A developer or operator wires it into a cron job so Chat, Drive, or other Workspace event streams keep delivering instead of silently lapsing.
