Lookup Table Status Behavior After WooCommerce Database Restore

After restoring a WooCommerce site from a database backup, the store administrator needs to confirm that the product lookup tables reflect the restored data so that search, filtering and reports remain accurate.

The WooCommerce Status > Tools > Database screen provides a Lookup tables section that can show an "Out of date" status and offers a Regenerate button, but it is unclear whether the system automatically detects outdated tables after a restore or requires manual intervention, and what factors influence the regeneration duration or success.

What determines whether the Lookup tables status updates automatically after a database restore, are there any size‑ or server‑related limits that affect the regeneration process, and under what conditions might the regeneration fail silently without reporting an error?
