Describe the bug

I will apologize in advance as I am working off of a VM and not very familiar with polybar. I am having two issues, the first is that at random times polybar will stop showing all active dwm tags. Lets say I have one window on tag 1 and one window on tag 3, when this issue occurs if I open a window on tag 2 polybar will not update and show that tag 2 now has a window on it nor will it update to show the active tag when switching tags. The second issue is that, at random, polybar will simply go black. I don't have any logs nor do I know what if any logs I could provide. I am working in a Virtualbox VM at the moment, and using the latest release of master. If there is anything more I can provide please feel to ask, I apologise for me my ignorance here.

I just started using this very recently, about a day ago. I have tried the upstream example configuration provided when building polybar and a minimal configuration. Both have this issue.
