celery.send_task does not return an AsyncResult causing application to hang intermittently

[BrQE]

Description:
I am experiencing an issue where tasks sent to Celery workers using executer.send_task from another process (other_app.py) sometimes cause the other_app process to hang, despite executer.send_task being asynchronous. Below are the details of my setup and the issue:

Environment:

Redis Version: 4.6.0
Celery Version: 5.3.1
Celery Singleton Version: 0.3.1
Kombu Version: 5.3.7
SQLAlchemy Celery Beat Version: 0.7.1
SQLAlchemy Version: 1.4.52
OS Version: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Kernel Version: 5.15.38-amd64

requirements.txt
redis 4.6.0
celery 5.3.1
celery-singleton 0.3.1
kombu 5.3.7
sqlalchemy-celery-beat 0.7.1
SQLAlchemy 1.4.52

Celery Configuration (celery.py):

from celery import Celery
from datetime import timedelta

class CeleryConfig:
    task_serializer = 'json'
    accept_content = ['json']
    result_serializer = 'json'
    broker_url = 'redis://localhost/3'
    result_backend = 'redis://localhost/4'
    broker_connection_retry_on_startup = True
    result_backend_thread_safe = True
    result_expires = timedelta(seconds=1)
    worker_cancel_long_running_tasks_on_connection_loss = True
    task_time_limit = 300
    worker_send_task_event = False
    task_default_queue = 'subtask'
    include = [
        'tasks.job_first',
        'tasks.job_second',
    ]

executer = Celery(__name__)
executer.config_from_object(CeleryConfig)

Run Script (run.sh):

celery --workdir "${celery_working_dir}" -A "celery" worker \
                    -Ofair --without-heartbeat --without-gossip --without-mingle \
                    --pidfile="${celery_pid_file}" --loglevel="${celeryd_log_level}" \
                    --concurrency="${celery_concurrency}" -n "${worker_name}" --pool=gevent -Q "${queue_name}"

Other App (other_app.py):

from celery import executer

executer.send_task(message.event, kwargs=message.__dict__, task_id=message.id, queue="cloud")

Issue:

• I am sending tasks to the Celery workers from other_app.py at irregular intervals using executer.send_task.
• The tasks are processed correctly by the Celery workers.
• Occasionally, the executer.send_task call does not return a response, causing the other_app process to hang.
• This issue occurs despite executer.send_task being an asynchronous call.

Expected Behavior:

The executer.send_task call should always return a response without causing the other_app process to hang.

Additional Information:

No errors or exceptions are logged in the Celery workers or other_app.py when the issue occurs.

Please let me know if any additional information is required. Thank you for your assistance.
