+## Scheduled Tasks worker
+
+There is a scheduled tasks worker that needs to be ran separately from the bot. This handles cleaning up the database, and updating statistics (system/member/etc counts, shown in the `pk;stats` embed).
+
+Note: This worker is *not required*, and the bot will function correctly without it.
+
+If you are running the bot via docker-compose, this is set up automatically.
+
+If you run the bot manually you can run the worker as such:
+* `dotnet run --project PluralKit.ScheduledTasks`
+* or if you used `dotnet build` rather than `dotnet run` to run the bot: `dotnet build/PluralKit.ScheduledTasks.dll`
+
 # Upgrading database from legacy version
 If you have an instance of the Python version of the bot (from the `legacy` branch), you may need to take extra database migration steps.
