Describe the bug
Playwright (Browerless) fetching stopped working last week or the week before. It worked previously and I didn't make any changes to either ChangeDetection or Browserless between it working and not working, other than it possibly auto-updating. It was running fine one day and the next not.

I am currently using https://news.ycombinator.com/ to test, but it is the same error for all URLs: "Screenshot unavailable, page did not render fully in the expected time or page was too long - try increasing 'Wait seconds before extracting text'"

I have tried updating the setting mentioned to even 30 seconds and still get the same error. Browser Steps also does not work, returning "Error fetching screenshot and element data - a bytes-like object is required, not 'NoneType'"

When I use the Browserless debugger directly everything works fine, and I have also tried Browserless v2 and get the same error, so I believe the issue is on ChangeDetection's end.

Version
0.52.7

How did you install?
