Sudden Issue with Chrome on PythonAnywhere - But just from Scheduled Task

For the past year or so, I have had a scraper run every morning. It had been functioning wonderfully but suddenly, this morning, I get this error:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist) (The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/chromium-browser is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.42.591071 (0b695ff80972cc1a65a5cd643186d2ae582cd4ac),platform=Linux 5.13.0-1017-aws x86_64)

I have a manual button which triggers the same program on the web app that I have installed as a way to troubleshoot my software. I ran my app from this button and it functioned properly.

I then decided to reload the web-app and reset the scheduled tasks so it would be triggered a few minutes later yet I got the same error.

I am simply troubleshooting my web-app now and I am curious if something was updated overnight that may have only effected the way the scheduled task function.

Thanks
