Hi! Could you try to "/logout" from a session and scan it again? Just had the similar issue wit that and logout/login helped

If it doesn't help - could your provide engine field from GET /api/sessions/{name} response :pray: It has the WA web version we need to check

[devlikepro]

Another thing to try it to switch to chrome-based docker image

devlikeapro/waha-plus:chrome

https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/engines/#docker-images

basiclly stop and remove old container and run a new one

docker stop waha
docker rm waha
docker run .... devlikeapro/waha-plus:chrome

Kindly use docker run ... with your own parameters https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/install/

@devlikepro I've switched to chrome engine and did a logout and login. Will wait and see if the issue still presists. /api/sessions/{name}:

"engine": {
    "engine": "WEBJS",
    "WWebVersion": "2.3000.1015732531",
    "state": "CONNECTED"
  }

/api/version:

{
  "version": "2024.8.3",
  "engine": "WEBJS",
  "tier": "PLUS",
  "browser": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable"
}

@devlikepro The issue still presists and now I've switched to NOWEB engine. I only need to send messages to my Whatsapp channel. I think NOWEB should be fine in this case.

[sukhcha-in]

@devlikepro NOWEB is working fine but this issue must be fixed for WEBJS users as well.

[devlikepro]

@sukhcha-in thank you for the update! Could you give the payload example for your case? May be it's the image itself causes the issue You can send it to waha@devlike.pro if it's smthg private
