EngineTerminatedError : Engine event loop dead

[Slivki-coder]

I made my chess engine in python a few days ago and today I tried to put it on lichess. I converted it to an exe file using pyinstaller and then followed the instructions on this website. when I start up the engine in my cli it starts returning error like this:

 move: 1                                                                  lichess-bot.py:692

                    INFO     Backing off play_game(...) for 29.4s (chess.engine.EngineTerminatedError:    _common.py:105

[11/18/23 14:02:35] INFO     +++ https://lichess.org/RsahanPl/black Blitz vs Slivki1909 (993?)        lichess-bot.py:584
                             (RsahanPl)

The engine is online on lichess but it does not make moves until I log into the bot account and do the firstmove mannually. It plays normally after I do this and I think it is because lichess does not start the clocks until each player made a move. Do I need to change anything in the config.yml file? Here is my uci loop, if anyone could tell me where my mistake is I would be very grateful.

def uci_loop():
    while True:
        c = input()
        if c == "uci":
            print("id name bot_name")
            print("id author author_name")
            print("uciok")
        elif c == "isready":
            print("readyok")
        elif "position" in c:
            if not "moves" in c:
                pos = chess.Board()
            else:
                pos = chess.Board()
                cs = c.split("moves ")
                css = cs[1].split(" ")
                for move in css:
                    pos.push_san(move)
        elif "go" in c:
            cs = c.split(" ")
            wtime = int(cs[2])
            btime = int(cs[4])
            move = find_best_move(pos, wtime/30000 if pos.turn == chess.WHITE else btime/30000, True if pos.turn == chess.WHITE else False)
            print(f"bestmove {move}")
        elif c == "quit":
            break

The engine works fine in arena chess GUI

For the first move, your engine will receive a go movetime x command and not a go wtime x btime x winc x binc x. This command means that the engine mut search for exactly this amount of time. Your uci_loop() doesn't support such a command. First move engine communication:
