Ignoring python vk api timeout error?

Question

Python

If a python bot runs long enough, it is thrown out with a vk-api error like

requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='im.vk.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=35)

Complete error

File "Textv2.py", line 117, in
for event in longpoll.listen():
File "/home/h4x4d/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/vk_api/longpoll.py", line 621, in listen
for event in self.check():
File "/home/h4x4d/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/vk_api/longpoll.py", line 557, in check
response = self.session.get(
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 546, in get
return self.request('GET', url, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 533, in request
resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 646, in send
r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 529, in send
raise ReadTimeout(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='im.vk.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=35)

Is it possible to somehow ignore it and continue execution, at least through a loop? I don't like that the bot crashes every 6 hours because of this. Thanks in advance!

PS I tried to constantly send him messages in order to "update the timeout", it does not help, he still fell

Just hang an exception there and catch it with ketch
