How Watch Dog Timer works in STOP mode? STOP mode time is more than 5 min. I want to implement WDT in STOP mode but STOP mode time is more than 5 min and WDT reset time is less than 30 sec.

The IWDG can continue counting while the MCU is in low power modes or it can pause counting then. So you may set your RTC to wake up say every 4 minutes and the IWDG to 5 minutes. The RTC can then reset the IWDG. What kind of errors do you want the WDG to care for while the MCU is in STOP mode?
