Connection error: 1006 - connection was closed uncleanly (peer dropped the TCP connection without pr

I know there have been some previous discussions about this error. However, nothing in those older threads or in the FAQs helped me.:
Connection error: 1006 - connection was closed uncleanly (peer dropped the TCP connection without previous WebSocket closing handshake)

What I'm trying to do: Stream websocket data to my laptop and save in my local mysql server instance.

What's happening: I run the code attached below, but the error above shows up immediately.

What I've tried to troubleshoot:
1) api_key and access token are fine.
2) threaded=True is enabled, along with an infinite while loop after that so that the compute/insert operation is not done on the main thread
3) indentation is fine
4) I see some people in other threads have had issues with dynamic subscriptions. but my list of tokens is static.
5) In the .connect() method, I've tried with or without the disable_ssl_verification=True parameter. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
6) Confirmed that the mysql server is active and I'm able to write dataframes to it with similar code as below.

I would be very grateful if someone is able to point me to a solution. (hoping @rakeshr , @sujith , @MAG , @Vivek , @sauravkedia , @Shaha or other experienced folks know an answer. Thanks in advance!)
