ESP32 wifi getting disconnected once within 3-4 days

[sd.hrishi]

I integrated ESP32 (ESP32 DEVKITC V4) with the Blynk IoT platform. I observed that my ESP32 is getting disconnected once in a while from Wifi. I added a patch to restart ESP (ESP.restart()) if it is not connected to Wifi for the last 30 minutes. Sometimes this works but not always. I have to turn off the power supply and then turn it on. And then it gets to connect to Wifi within a few seconds.

I tried with esps, but no luck.

• ESP32 DEVKIT V1 (ESP32-Wroom-32)

• ESP32 DEVKITC V4 (ESP32-Wroom-32U)

I'm not sure what is the reason.

Here is the program:
