About 2 months ago, I had setup a user-level systemd service in ~gg/.config/systemd/user/archive-watch.service and it had worked fine until yesterday when it suddenly stopped. When I noticed something was wrong, I logged in to try to restart the service, I received this error:
systemctl --user restart archive-watch.service Failed to connect to user scope bus via local transport: Connection refused
From what I know, ~deepend has discontinued the enabled-by-default policy for user-level SystemD services on Tilde.club [1]; apparently because services running from this have been semi-regularly causing system load level to go out of hand for a while now.
If you need to continue running daemon via this facility, just know that it's now an opt-in that's granted on case-by-case basis: email ~deepend if you would like to apply.
