I confirm the problem. Looks like it's somewhere in file request_functions.py. There are a lot of connection related stuff there (aiohttp, requests, tenacity, urllib), so I'm not sure, but my guess is: function http_request_get should be changed to:
headers={"User-Agent": user_agent, "Cache-Control": "no-cache", "Pragma": "no-cache"},

Can someone create a PR?

Tested the "Cache-Control": "no-cache", "Pragma": "no-cache" thing. It doesn't help much. (Actually I added "Cache-Control": "no-cache", "Pragma": "no-cache" everywhere I could find.)

"Solved" the issue by automatically restarting my script via systemctl every day.
