My scheduled task is failing before my script runs. Error comes from /home/anywhere/djangoproject/jails/pa_sudo.py with MySQL OperationalError 4031/2013 (client disconnected due to inactivity). Can you please check/refresh the internal DB connections for scheduled tasks on my account?

There are no "internal DB connections" for us to do anything to. If your query is taking too long, have a look at optimising (by reducing the number of records returned or applying indexes to appropriate fields) it so it does not take so long.

Hi glenn,

Just to clarify: the command I’m scheduling is: python3 /home/LordAlphaSupremeI/broadcast.py This script doesn’t use Django or MySQL at all – it only reads/writes local files.

The traceback shows the error happening inside /home/anywhere/djangoproject/jails/pa_sudo.py and accounts/models.py:get_profile() before my script runs, with MySQL errors 4031/2013. I also created a minimal test_task.py that only does print("Hello") and scheduled that; it produces the same pa_sudo.py traceback.

Since there is no DB query in my code to optimize, can you confirm whether this is an issue with the jails/accounts DB lookup on your side when starting scheduled tasks, and if there’s a workaround to let me run a simple Python script as a task without hitting that code path?

Do you get this error when starting a new bash or python console? Or is it only for this task?

Only for task I’m afraid

I see your task is run around midnight. That is a very popular time to run tasks, so the task server is generally overloaded at that time. Other less popular times are around the hour or half hour. Try running your task outside of these times.
