Additional context

[danielbrunt57]

I'm thinking the error you posted is a result of the re-auth required after restart rather than the cause of it...

[ThiloAm]

Thank you for your response. Is it normal behavior for a re-authentication to be required after restarting Home Assistant?
If so, is there an "easy" way to perform the re-authentication?

The error message is not that I should log in again. Instead, a configuration error is displayed.

No. For the periods when I'm not developing and breaking things, if I restart HA, it restarts just fine without reauth. Reauth occurs when token sign in fails then it tries using stored cookie login, then it tries stored credentials and fails, and that should not occur. Are you using OTP? Are you using legacy YAML config? I just noticed now you indicated you're using 4.13.8. That's a bad version and a PR has been merged into Dev to undo it. Until there's a new version released, use 4.13.7.

I went back to version 4.13.7. Now it works again.

Thank you for your help.
