		// Keep the application alive
		await Task.Delay(-1);
	}

	private Task OnLogAsync(LogMessage msg)

		string logText = $"{DateTime.UtcNow.ToString(timeFormat)} [{msg.Severity}] {msg.Source}: {msg.Exception?.ToString() ?? msg.Message}";
		File.AppendAllText(_logFile, logText + "\n");     // Write the log text to a file

To the above, bearer does not imply self-botting, this is an irrelevant comment.

Could you go further into your use case, so I can attempt to repro?
