I was presented to this plot and i've seen it before, however i would like to know what does the countour around the main line mean.
Ps: i couldn't find enough information about it to investigate by myself, so i had to create this question.

The shaded area likely shows the dark green line plus or minus some error/uncertainty estimate. Common error estimates may be based on the standard deviation, a confidence interval, or the interquartile range depending on the data and the analysis being done. Without more information, we cannot know what the shaded area represents.
It might be plus or minus one standard deviation. But it could be anything really. Without more context you can't be sure.
Without more information it is hard to say for certain, but my best guess is that the shaded region is a confidence interval (say ± 1 standard deviation) around the predicted values which are represented by the line. For example, have a read through this article where the author creates a time series prediction for stock market prices with a confidence interval and generates a similar visualization.
