Update your bot and see if that fixes things and report back. There have been updates to the API since that commit.

[CyberMew]

Same issue, seems like it will give a problem if it has slept for a long time and the bot is terminated while it is still sleeping.

It's not because you haven't validate your ptc account ?
After creating new account you received an email at the adresse provided, you have 2 days to activate after that you won't be able tu use the account.

[CyberMew]

No it's not. I've been botting for days. Did you have the same setup without issues?

[mjmadsen]

@CyberMew Have you tried the account on the app? All of my PTC accounts work. Are you in dev branch?

[CyberMew]

Yes I did and I am on the dev branch. It seems like a token expiry issue due to prolong period of no activity due to sleepschedule (but then again I'm not sure why the token is being used when I terminate the bot).

But I guess it doesn't matter now because that account is banned. I'll recreate a new issue thread again if this happens on my next account.
