Too long pauses between actions #2697

Closed tompicca closed 6 years ago

tompicca commented 6 years ago

Hi there, I noticed that after some (variable) time after I ran the script, it starts to take very long naps (always about 20 minutes) between each unfollow, apparently without any reason. Also I set sleep_delay=300 (about 5 minutes) but sometimes the nap takes much more time (in the case below, 42 min). Please look at here:

Is this behaviour normal? Why usually the script takes less than 1 minute to unfollow a user but often it requires 20 min? Why usually the sleep time is about 5 min (as I set) but often it takes much more time (sometimes hours)?

In Mac OS X, just check "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" in Energy Saver to solve the issue.
