CC2640R2F: CC2640rf Watchdog Clear Causes bluetooth interruption isit possible to setup watchdog to run forever

I have seen posts whereby the watchdog clear timer is setup to run periodically, when implementing this the bluetooth no longer functions within Simple Peripheral project, I try to setup the watchdog to basically run forever but anything larger than 30 minutes causes the debugger to lose connection when setting up watchdog reload, I basically want the watchdog to run forever, I have tested this with a while(1) and it triggers the call back and soft reset, however not when attached to the debugger as I have seen previously mentioned JTAG on CCS causes issues, but externally to this it functions.

void WatchdogInit(void)
{
	uint32_t tickValue = 0;
	Watchdog_Handle handle;
	Watchdog_Params params;

	Board_initWatchdog();

	//create watchdog
	Watchdog_Params_init(&params);
	params.callbackFxn = (Watchdog_Callback) watchdogCallback;
	params.resetMode = Watchdog_RESET_ON;

	//open watchdog
	handle = Watchdog_open(Board_WATCHDOG0, &params);
    Watchdog_clear(handle);

    if (handle == NULL)
    {
        /* Error opening Watchdog */
  	  SystemResetSoft(); // reset the system to run again
    }
    else
    {
    	// set timeout period to 240 hours
    	tickValue = Watchdog_convertMsToTicks(handle, 1000000);
    	Watchdog_setReload(handle, tickValue);
    	setWhiteLedPin(1);  // white LED means Watchdog is running
    }
}

void watchdogCallback(uintptr_t watchdogHandle)

{
	  SystemResetSoft(); // reset the system to run again
}
