Looking at the older logs, I see a bunch of these:

```auto
12/17/2023 03:16:05 AM <964422> kiwipy.rmq.tasks: [ERROR] Exception occurred while processing task.

```

But I don’t know if they correspond to the WorkChain in question. This was about the time where I was dealing with [How to kill a monster workflow 👹](https://aiida.discourse.group/t/how-to-kill-a-monster-workflow/206)
