When this error ocurrs the primary thing we want to do is stop the integration from retrying. We can't tell the difference between rate limiting or invalid credentials, but we do know that reauthenticating will resolve the issue.

Proposed change

Add exception handling for rate limited / expired MQTT requests and record a better translated error with the option to start re-authentication to resolve.

Type of change

  • Dependency upgrade
  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

  • New feature (which adds functionality to an existing integration)
  • Deprecation (breaking change to happen in the future)

Key Changes

  • Added exception handling for MqttSessionUnauthorized to trigger reauthentication
  • Created a user-friendly, actionable error message explaining rate limiting and credential issues
  • Extended test coverage to verify both credential and MQTT unauthorized errors trigger reauth

The ConfigEntryAuthFailed instantiation is missing the first positional message argument. This is inconsistent with the RoborockInvalidCredentials exception handler above (lines 81-85) which includes "Invalid credentials" as the first argument. For consistency and to ensure proper error reporting, add a descriptive message as the first argument.

Suggested change
raise ConfigEntryAuthFailed(
raise ConfigEntryAuthFailed(
"MQTT session unauthorized",
