[BUG][WEBJS] - Sessions Not Starting

[whera]

After updating to the version:

{
  "version": "2024.12.3",
  "engine": "WEBJS",
  "tier": "PLUS",
  "browser": "/usr/bin/chromium"
}

I encountered an issue where existing sessions cannot be started. They remain stuck in the STARTING status and do not proceed.
When checking the logs, the following error is displayed:

[12:49:37.275] ERROR (WhatsappSession/1): session:1705 - Runtime.callFunctionOn timed out. Increase the 'protocolTimeout' setting in launch/connect calls for a higher timeout if needed. {"reqId":770,"session":"1705"}
    err: {

      "message": "Runtime.callFunctionOn timed out. Increase the 'protocolTimeout' setting in launch/connect calls for a higher timeout if needed.",
      "stack":

Hi! Could you try to stop all session and start exactly one and send the logs to [email protected]? That's weird behaviour

[devlikepro]

ANother thing to try is to swithc to chrome based docker image

devlikeapro/waha-plus:chrome

@whera what is your CPU/Memory configuration? How many sessions do you have?
Usually timeout happens because it starts all sessions at once when you restart container
