Angular provides a manualCleanup configuration option for effects, preventing automatic cleanup when the owner component/service is destroyed.

With manualCleanup: true, you gain control but must manually call .destroy() on the EffectRef that is returned by your effect to release resources like intervals or subscriptions.

Remember, with great power comes great responsibility!
