ERROR:root:RTM connection failed, reached max connects

When I first open sclack it is fairly unresponsive (eventually my keypresses are registered, but there are long delays, sometimes 20+ seconds) and sometimes I see the error mentioned in the title. Also I've noticed that although I can send messages to a channel or DM and they go through, I don't see them and don't see any replies coming from the receiver unless i switch channels and come back. I'm on linux (debian) running from master f23bde4

Having the exact same issue, ubuntu 18.04

I have found the problem and a workaround. The issue is with the current version of the websocket-client library and the slack API. Downgrading that library fixed the issue for me.

pip3 install websocket-client==0.47.0

I will submit a PR to address this in the requirements.txt

@philskents strangely I still have the issue but I'm on websocket-client==0.47.0. (MacOS Mojave)
