Whatsapp QR Code Authentification not working

[FaserF]

Describe the bug I can scan the QR Code, but get an error on my whatsapp phone saying "Can't link new devices at this time - Try again later". But when adding a new web.whatsapp.com session it works fine without any issue.

To Reproduce Initialize a Whatsapp Authentification via QR Code.

Expected behavior The QR Code Authentification to work

@FaserF can you try current master?

This seems to be broken in a slightly different way with the current master/v1.26.0. Starting with scanning the QR code:

WhatsApp still says "Logging in..."

00:00:43.000 [Client INFO] Uploading 50 new prekeys to server

WhatsApp says "account is not allowed to use WhatsApp due to spam".

Tried it two times, account got blocked on the second attempt. Had them unblock it, tried it once more to collect the log above, now blocked again. Always tried it with v1.26.0, so I'm not sure whether the old version is affected in the same way.

This was not a completely new setup, but an existing matterbridge installation, that had to be linked to WhatsApp again, since WhatsApp got reinstalled on a new device.

Tried it and now it is different. On the first try I got the same issue. Tried to scan it then a second time and then it worked again.
