You can start it with systemctl start podman-auto-update.service It’ll auto update daily at 00:00.
Be aware you need to enable and start podman-auto-update.timer for this to work automatically (ie systemctl enable --now podman-auto-update.timer), this command will just update the images once only.
I don’t think this works for non-system podman images, so you’d have to do systemctl --user enable --now podman-auto-update.timer for each user.
Yeah, works great in my experience, but requires a bit of care if the upstream container packager is only doing a “latest” tag and not major version tags that are unlikely to break compatibility.

How do you circumvent it?
You kindly ask the maintainer of the container repository to add major version tags ;)
