Azure Webjob stops for no reason

I have an continuous webjob that is supposed to run until I stop it. I rely on this condition, but for some reason this phenomena happens to me:

[01/19/2021 09:57:51 > 44ab83: SYS INFO] Detected WebJob file/s were updated, refreshing WebJob
[01/19/2021 09:57:51 > 44ab83: SYS INFO] Status changed to Stopping
[01/19/2021 09:57:56 > 44ab83: ERR ] Thread was being aborted.
[01/19/2021 09:57:57 > 44ab83: SYS INFO] WebJob process was aborted
[01/19/2021 09:57:57 > 44ab83: SYS INFO] Status changed to Stopped

The code didn't throw any error so I'm wondering why is the webjob restarting on its own. What does Detected WebJob file/s were updated, refreshing WebJob mean? I'm not creating/writing any files inside the WebJob's directory.
