No.

Have you set a timeout ?

<https://sqlite.org/c3ref/busy_timeout.html>

By default SQLite does no retrying at all.  This means that almost every setup 
with multi-thread or multi-process access is going to get error messages.  
Setting a timeout of a few seconds makes most apps run without problems.
