[Python] Character AI API closes connection when it shouldn't

I've tried breeding speech recognition and character.AI (because it has nice free api). When I try to send a message the connection suddenly drops.

I've tested "Simple Example" from github.com/kramcat/CharacterAI and it works.

Here's the code:

async def main():
char = "GddGh5qJnuDMc_60Ldh-KhoRZy4HSu4jD6e66kp8Htg"
client = aiocai.Client('b311ec5d7a71f09ec30bdec1b377672bea63bcdf')
me = await client.get_me()
async with await client.connect() as chat:
new, answer = await chat.new_chat(char, me.id)
speak(answer.text)

while True:

if os.path.exists("recorded_speech.wav"):
os.remove("recorded_speech.wav")
text = record()
print(text)

message = await chat.send_message(char, new.chat_id, text)
speak(f'{message.text}')


speak() is just a SAM tts. It works fine.
record() is simple stt, it works too.
text contains string with recorded voice

But when I get to message = await chat.send_message(char, new.chat_id, text) it gives me this exception:

basically, it has to write CAI response into message and then voice it with SAM. in fact I didn't change "Simple Example" code at all, just swapped out text = input('YOU: ') for simple voice recognition.
