Binance websocket stream hangs after a certain amount of time

I'm new to coding and trading, but I'm learning both.

I've been using the Binance websocket and the python-binance wrapper to access it. I tested streaming the price of BTCUSDT from the aggTrade stream using this simple python code.

After some time, the stream just hangs and doesn't give any errors.

The price hangs somewhere after 3 hours of run time

The Binance docs say:

The websocket server will send a ping frame every 3 minutes. If the websocket server does not receive a pong frame back from the connection within a 10 minute period, the connection will be disconnected. Unsolicited pong frames are allowed.

I'm not exactly sure how to send a ping, I tried searching for the issue online but didn't find anything helpful. client.ping() does not seem to work.

The solutions in this post are for keeping user data streams alive as far as I understand, and comments on this post recommends using Unicorn Binance Websockets because it handles reconnects. I tried but too complicated for me to use right now.

Do any of you guys know how I can fix this to get an uninterrupted stream for at least 24 hours using python-binance? Thanks in advance <3

P.S. The API is fine, I just want to figure out how to use websockets.
