Multiple Issues with Whatsapp-http-api-plus version during creating session

[ksingh7]

1. I tried to create a session (multiple time) but it fails, throwing the below error TimeoutError: Timed out after 30000 ms while trying to connect to the browser! Only Chrome at revision r982053 is guaranteed to work.

2. After this failure i ran GET /api/sessions and the status was failed

3. Next i tried to stop the session by calling /api/sessions/stop and provided the session name This resulted in error as shown below

4. Then tried to GET /api/sessions

However in logs i am continuously getting QR codes

I am using devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api-plus container image to deploy this application on Kubernetes .

Also intermittently i am getting issues like NO QR in /api/screenshot response

@allburov can you help with the above reported issues , are these known issues with the default engine ? should we try changing the engine or something else to get it working.

I am looking to achieve consistency in establishing a session >> getting QR images >> authenticating session.

@allburov appreciate any guidance on this

Hi! Could you try to POST /logout for that session and start it again?

I can confirm this bug.

Maybe this bug only happen when list of chats are very long. I confirm this bug happened on a session that have 2000+ open chats and 1000+ unread chats.

Here is some logs:

Hi! Could you try the recent version, 2026.6.4? We've fixed the chrome version there and added chats limit query for getting long list of chats
