        Wrap polling with infinite loop and exception handling to avoid bot stops polling.

        .. note::

            Install watchdog and psutil before using restart_on_change option.

        :param timeout: Request connection timeout.
        :type timeout: :obj:`int`

        :param long_polling_timeout: Timeout in seconds for long polling (see API docs)
        :type long_polling_timeout: :obj:`int`

        :param skip_pending: skip old updates
        :type skip_pending: :obj:`bool`

        :param logger_level: Custom (different from logger itself) logging level for infinity_polling logging.
            Use logger levels from logging as a value. None/NOTSET = no error logging
        :type logger_level: :obj:`int`.

        :param allowed_updates: A list of the update types you want your bot to receive.
            For example, specify [“message”, “edited_channel_post”, “callback_query”] to only receive updates of these types.
            See util.update_types for a complete list of available update types.
            Specify an empty list to receive all update types except chat_member (default).
            If not specified, the previous setting will be used.
            Please note that this parameter doesn't affect updates created before the call to the get_updates,
            so unwanted updates may be received for a short period of time.
        :type allowed_updates: :obj:`list` of :obj:`str`

        :param restart_on_change: Restart a file on file(s) change. Defaults to False
        :type restart_on_change: :obj:`bool`

        :param path_to_watch: Path to watch for changes. Defaults to current directory
        :type path_to_watch: :obj:`str`
