Anova integration stops updating unless if I manually reload the integration #175077

The problem

I have a Anova Precision Cooker 3.0 that I just got yesterday. After connecting it I played with a short bit and notice after a short bit the thing just stops updating. The unit is connected, the Anova app sees the unit, the unit works. And when I reload the integration it updates. But it won't update on it's own. Not unless if I manually do it, and at that point it works for a bit then just stops.
Like it might update for a few minutes and then completely stops.

I'm not sure if this is an issue on the Home Assistant end, with Anova end or what. I can provide logs if needed, just tell me what to look for. Writing this I reloaded it to see if I can get more info. And after about 15 minutes it stopped. Then 20 minutes it started again. Then it stopped minutes later.

I did get this when I looked in the logs

I couldn't reach that far back when I looked into the raw logs.

It should be noted another reported something similar #125840 on Sep of 2024. I'm not sure if it is the same issue.

It doesn't look like anyone looked at it or fixed it on that one. Like the person had to bump it a few times.
Is Anova a dead integration? If so it might be worth taking it down. One of the reasons why I bought it is for the Home Assistant abilities.

If it isn't dead I wonder if this is pinging their systems too often and it might be a security thing.

Additional information

I HIGHLY recommend anyone wanting to look into this look at #125840

What they talked about is near 1:1. And it looks like this issue has been going on for 2 years now.
