I had the same error, it seems to me that it is due to the handshake that occurs when a new chat is started and the security certificates are exchanged with the host device (the mobile) the extra WhatsApp sessions have to wait, the message arrives as : wait for the message, the problem is that since I couldn't access it from the api and when the body of the message arrives it doesn't generate a new notification, it goes unnoticed. For me the first message is very important so I have returned to the legacy option. If anyone knows a workaround or how to solve it I would like to know,

I went back to using the old version that is not multi-device. using version 2.22.2 of whatsapp and using this login. but it is not ideal and it is not so recommended but it worked for me, as something temporary https://wwebjs.dev/guide/authentication.html#legacysessionauth-strategy

But eventually that version will expire, right
