Not sure if it was your intention, but your weekly update case will reset every time there is a manual update. I avoid time.After for recurring tasks in a select loop for this reason.

time.Ticker is great if you want to repeat the task at approximately the same interval. time.Timer is what I use when I want the task to repeat a certain time after the previous task has finished. You can also conveniently use timer.Reset(0) to trigger an immediate tick.

It's intentional. The update doesn't have to happen at the same time every week, we just wanted the model to be no more than 1 week old.

`time.Ticker` looks handy, I will definitely use it for another project.
