Description

I noticed that one of my long-running tasks was never completing, and just kinda stopped silently after about an hour of execution. Upon some digging, I found the note in https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.create_task that asyncio uses weak references, and that the fire-and-forget method we're using is liable to garbage collection.

Changes

• Implemented the recommendation straight from the python documentation
