Describe the bug

I have an simple API in an AWS ec2 server, running on ubuntu with the most recent version of node. When I first start the API and log the sessions, the first few messages are being sent normally, but after that, the sendMessage() function has no return or action.

Here's my client declaration:

private composeClientOptions(sessionName: string): ClientOptions { const wwebVersion = '2.3000.1013767544'; return { restartOnAuthFail: true, webVersion: wwebVersion, webVersionCache: { type: 'remote', remotePath: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/${wwebVersion}.html, }, puppeteer: { headless: true, args: [ '--aggressive-cache-discard', '--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas', '--disable-application-cache', '--disable-background-networking', '--disable-cache', '--disable-client-side-phishing-detection', '--disable-component-update', '--disable-default-apps', '--disable-dev-shm-usage', '--disable-extensions', '--disable-gpu', '--disable-offer-store-unmasked-wallet-cards', '--disable-offline-load-stale-cache', '--disable-popup-blocking', '--disable-setuid-sandbox', '--disable-speech-api', '--disable-sync', '--disable-translate', '--disable-web-security', '--disk-cache-size=0', '--hide-scrollbars', '--ignore-certificate-errors', '--ignore-ssl-errors', '--metrics-recording-only', '--mute-audio', '--no-default-browser-check', '--no-first-run', '--no-pings', '--no-sandbox', '--no-zygote', '--password-store=basic', '--safebrowsing-disable-auto-update', // '--single-process', '--use-mock-keychain', ], }, authStrategy: new LocalAuth({ clientId: sessionName }), }; }

Here's my sendMessage function being called:

private async sendMessage( sessionIndex: number, number: string, message: string, sender: string, instance: string ) { try { await sessions[sessionIndex].client.sendMessage( composeNewNumber(number), message ); //It never gets past this point. The message is not sent, no error is thrown or anything, it just gets stuck in here. await this.saveMessageToLog(sender, message, number, instance); console.log( getCurrentDateConsole() + 'Mensagem da instância ' + instance + ' enviada com sucesso.' ); } catch (error) { console.log(error); } }

Notice that every other routine is working properly, just the send message one is not working.

Expected behavior

Message should be sent.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

1. Receive message send request

another one with the same problem. I didn't understood why my issue was closed, but since I could solve it in another way, I let it go. But it could be a real, big problem. Could you reopen it?
