Frequent "StokRefresh: Temporary Suspension" Errors Despite High Pull Interval

[denis08stgt]

Describe The Bug:

I am experiencing frequent "StokRefresh: Temporary Suspension" errors with my Tapo camera using the homebridge-tapo-camera plugin. Despite setting a high pullInterval, my console is getting spammed with these errors. Additionally, I'm seeing unhandled error messages related to the characteristic 'On'. The plugin updates the cameras despite the errors, and they work perfectly fine in Apple Home. The errors are just showing up without any apparent reason. Streaming also works flawlessly.

To Reproduce:

1. Configure the plugin with the provided settings.
2. Start Homebridge and observe the console logs.
3. Notice frequent "StokRefresh: Temporary Suspension" errors.

Expected behavior:

The plugin should handle API rate limits more gracefully and not spam the console with frequent errors.
