[Python] Selenium chromium browser sometimes not opens a page

I have chromium and chrome-driver installed with necessary requirements in my Dockerfile and am running the automation code inside container, It works for some operations and it would not work for some other operations.

Right now in my automation I am doing click on button which leads to opening a new page, able to perform click on the button however my Automation is unable to locate anything in the page after that, I tried capturing a screenshot and that also did not work.

My chromium and chromedriver are of linux based running on linux/amd64 architecture.

I am using these:-

[chromium Browser for linux][https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Linux_x64%2F1129867%2Fchrome-linux.zip?generation=1681401333766259&alt=media]

[Chromedriver-linux][https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Linux_x64%2F1129867%2Fchromedriver_linux64.zip?generation=1681401337961812&alt=media]

Error is as follows:- Please note that the xpaths given are correct.
