Bug Report: Bot Becomes Unresponsive in Inactive Groups

Description

The bot, built using Baileys v6.7.8, becomes unresponsive in WhatsApp groups that have been inactive for 1-2 hours. This issue is resolved only after restarting the bot. It appears to be related to socket management or connection stability during prolonged group inactivity.

---

Environment Details

Baileys Version: 6.7.8

Node.js Version: 20

Operating System: Linux (inside a Docker container)

Environment: Dockerized application

---

Socket Configuration

const connectionOptions = {
version: version, // [2, 3000, 1015901307]
logger: Pino({
level: 'silent',
}),
printQRInTerminal: true,
browser: Browsers.ubuntu("Chrome") || ["Ubuntu", "Edge", "110.0.1587.56"] || Browsers.macOS("Safari"),
auth: {
creds: state.creds,
keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(state.keys, pino({ level: "fatal" }).child({ level: "fatal" })),
},
markOnlineOnConnect: true,
generateHighQualityLinkPreview: true,
getMessage: async (key) => {
let jid = jidNormalizedUser(key.remoteJid);
let msg = await store.loadMessage(jid, key.id);
return msg?.message || '';
},
msgRetryCounterCache,
defaultQueryTimeoutMs: undefined,
};

Any solution?

I don't know if this is the error, but I am experiencing a similar situation. Some messages are sent, while others are not. There is no error message either.

sock = makeWASocket({
    version,
    printQRInTerminal: !usePairingCode,
    auth: {
      creds: state.creds,
      keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(
        state.keys,
        pino().child({ level: "fatal", stream: "store" })
      ),
    },
    mobile: useMobile,
    logger: pino({ level: "fatal" }),
    browser: ["Chrome (Linux)", "", ""],
    msgRetryCounterCache,
    connectTimeoutMs: 60000,
    defaultQueryTimeoutMs: undefined,
    generateHighQualityLinkPreview: true,
    syncFullHistory: false,
    markOnlineOnConnect: true,
  });
