Description of the warning/error

The following piece of code is being called for ~6 hours, about once a minute. After 6 hours the error starts to be thrown. This has happened several times, it is a consistent situation. I have checked all the previous bug reports with the same issue and I don't see what could be happening.

with mss.mss() as sct:
    haystack_img = np.array(sct.grab(image_input))
