Frequent session disconnections every 5–10 minutes after months of stable usage (no errors in logs)

[cashmaal]

Hi,

I am experiencing frequent session disconnections every 5–10 minutes.

Environment:

• Using Docker (custom patched image with timothydillan fix)
• Based on: avoylenko/wwebjs-api:edge
• whatsapp-web.js version: 1.34.3 (patched fork)
• VPS with sufficient resources (2GB+ RAM, shm-size configured)

Issue:

• The session was stable for 2–3 months without any disconnections
• Suddenly, starting today, the session disconnects every 5–10 minutes
• No major errors appear in logs
• Only normal logs like:
  • net::ERR_ABORTED
  • net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE
  • telemetry requests failing

Behavior:

• Session reconnects automatically
• No QR required again
• But keeps disconnecting repeatedly

What I tried:

• Restarting container
• Increasing memory and shm-size
• Using patched whatsapp-web.js (duplicate-events fix)
• Adjusting .env config (no forced WEB_VERSION, webhook enabled, etc.)

Question:
Is this caused by recent WhatsApp Web changes or session invalidation?
Any recommended fix or workaround to stabilize the session?

Thanks!

Might be wwebjs/whatsapp-web.js#127105

Adding '--disable-web-security' inside sessions.js fixed it for me
