Issue with post creation

[Xehos]

Hello, whenever I try to post a new Thread I'm getting this error right after message: INFO:Set logged-in state successfully. All set!

Does anyone know what should this one mean? Thanks

Hi, thanks for choosing threads-api :)

It means that the HTTP response you received from Threads.net is not as expected. One reason could be that the underlying authentication timed out or is no longer valid.

Please set LOG_LEVEL environment variable to DEBUG so you are able to see the full response. It usually hints as to why it had failed. You can run your script like this: LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG python3 main.py to include it.

If you need further assistance, please add additional details from the logs.

Please re-open with additional info if still reproduces after version v1.1.13 (https://github.com/Danie1/threads-api/releases/tag/v1.1.13). It contains improvements in this area / the solution, so at the very least it will be easier to troubleshoot if a different issue appears.
