BSPWM freezes after being afk for around 20-30 minutes

[Somil Choudhary]

Every time I am AFK for around 20-30 minutes, the BSPWM freezes and i have to pkill -u user_name every time in order to login again. This issue is same for me as well as for my other PC's too. Please point me out if I am missing something. Here is my attached bspwmrc config file.

#! /bin/sh

#PYWAL
. "${HOME}/.cache/wal/colors.sh"
adjust_color_lightness() {
  # Input hex color code
  original_color="$1"

  # Extract the RGB components
  red=$(echo $original_color | cut -c 2-3)
  green=$(echo $original_color | cut -c 4-5)
  blue=$(echo $original_color | cut -c 6-7)

  # Convert hex to decimal
  red_dec=$((16#$red))
  green_dec=$((16#$green))
  blue_dec=$((16#$blue))

  # Increase lightness by the specified factor
  lightness_increase=$2
  new_red_dec=$(echo "$red_dec * $lightness_increase" | bc)
  new_green_dec=$(echo "$green_dec * $lightness_increase" | bc)
  new_blue_dec=$(echo "$blue_dec * $lightness_increase" | bc)

  # Ensure the values are within the valid range (0-255)
  new_red_dec=$(printf "%.0f" $new_red_dec)
  new_green_dec=$(printf "%.0f" $new_green_dec)
  new_blue_dec=$(printf "%.0f" $new_blue_dec)

  # Convert decimal back to hex
  new_red=$(printf "%02X" $new_red_dec)
  new_green=$(printf "%02X" $new_green_dec)
  new_blue=$(printf "%02X" $new_blue_dec)

  # Print the new hex color code
  echo "#$new_red$new_green$new_blue"
}

When did this issue start? I recently started experiencing a similar issue but it happens intermittently on startup. Every bspc command seems to hang until I click a window, and all commands execute immediately. I'm waiting for the next occurrence to get a backtrace.

Recently started experiencing bspwm to freeze as well, and same with the bspc command. But I have no clue as to why at this point.
