Python script execution fails

Hello, I have an add-on which fetches emails from mail server. Due to O365 limitations, the add-on's python script required modification to support OAuth authentication.

 

Post modification, the script runs, however, it appears to be crashing once in a while randomly. After enabling the DEBUG for ExecProcessor, the following info is seen in the logs:

I also noticed a few processes of script in interruptible sleep state since many days.
