Additional details

Issue happens occasionally but very often.

I used to get this error and as am talking right now, I still run into it but the only temporary fix I discovered for it is to decrease on the consistent rates where your app's ui is updated or reduce on calling page.update consistently.

try to remove page.update() from on_message method!

try to remove page.update() from on_message method!

The UI won't get updated in that case. 😅

[HappyCoder256]

Try increasing the sleep value to something like 0.6. U'll not run into that error. The only reason why ure getting assertion is because you're trying to update the app's ui At the fastest rate in the way that the app is requesting a ui update even before completing the previous ui update request.
