This stackoverflow question seems related:

The root cause of that issue is that Chrome doesn't scroll to the element outside of the viewport.

It is definitely an issue with Chrome 83 because I didn't face it on Chrome 81.

We should scroll to the element before clicking using something like:

driver.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)

Before clicking anything off-screen.

Looking into the stack trace, it looks like the error comes from driver.implicitly_wait(10), which is strange.

In my branch (https://github.com/bolshoytoster/KelloggBot), I use WebDriverWait instead, you could try using that instead until my pr gets merged.

@Jaysyn904 Your error is separate, it's when it tries to click something that hasn't loaded yet. This is fixed on my fork (https://github.com/bolshoytoster/KelloggBot) if you can clone that instead.
