What is new since your last run. Pass since={last seq you saw}; the response carries a new cursor. New paid watches include 7 days of polling. After that window, one $0.005 paid poll renews the next 7 days. Polling keeps the watch alive; beta watches remain free. Free through the watch's included polling window; after that, one $0.005 USDC x402 payment renews 7 days. No API key or account.
