Gaps in watershed after watershed delineation

Hi,

I've been doing a watershed delineation in ArcGIS Pro 3.1.4 from a 50cm DEM. I've done this according to the following workflow: DEM fill, Flow direction (D8), Flow accumulation (D8), placing outlet points and running the watershed tool. Unfortunately, the watersheds that the tool is outputting leaves a couple of gaps where there is no watershed data (and where there is data in the DEM). I can't link an image, but basically it looks like a group of coloured shapes together, where one chunk is missing and you can see whatever's underneath the layer.

Any ideas why this could be and how to deal with it?

Sorry, I don't. I'm hoping an expert in this area will help us all out.

To update this, I basically found that the resolution was too high. This was too computationally expensive for the system I was using to run, causing a lot of noise and the aforementioned gaps.
