How to automatically reset counter for appendix for a custom TOC in koma-script?

Question

I would like to use a custom TOC declared by the \DeclareNewTOC command. Unfortunately the counter created with it does not resets itself upon the appendix.

While the counter within figure gets reset and the \Alph{<counter>} representation is being used. It does not get applied on the custom TOC which I declared.

I have already searched for solutions and read the koma documentation about the \DeclareNewTOC command but could not find anything. I found the tocentrystyle option key but couldn't make it to work. I mostly came across questions the other way around that they want to remove the reset etc.

A MWE:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\DeclareNewTOC[%
    type=listing,
    types=listings,
    float,
    name=Listing,
    listname={List of Listings}
]{lol}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\listoffigures
\listoflistings
\mainmatter
\appendix
\chapter{Figures}
\begin{figure}
    \caption{Example figure}
\end{figure}
\chapter{Listings}
\begin{listing}
\caption{This is an example}
\end{listing}
\backmatter
\end{document}

The output is

List of Figures

A.1 Example figure

List of Listings

1. This is an example

I would like to have:

List of Listings

B.1 This is an example

Edit (from the answer of gusbrs): using the option counterwithin=chapter inside the DeclareNewTOC or outside produces the correct numbering, however it does not update the padding between the number and the toc text as seen in this picture:

Edit 2: This answer: counterwithin problems with table of content Helped me to find the options:

tocentrynumwidth=2em,
tocentryindent=2em

But currently tocentryindent does not match the default indent of List of Figures.

If the indent and the number width for listing entries should be the same as for figure entries, use options tocentryindent:=figure and tocentrynumwidth:=figure.

Example:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\DeclareNewTOC[%
    type=listing,
    types=listings,
    float,
    name=Listing,
    listname={List of Listings},
    counterwithin=chapter,% <- added
    tocentryindent:=figure,% <- added
    tocentrynumwidth:=figure% <- added
]{lol}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\listoffigures
\listoflistings
\mainmatter
\appendix
\chapter{Figures}
\begin{figure}
    \caption{Example figure}
\end{figure}
\chapter{Listings}
\begin{listing}
\caption{This is an example}
\end{listing}
\end{document}
