10 months ago I noticed exactly the same thing happened to me as well. When pressing the physical Hue button the object doesn't output an event anymore. Last week I did some routine maintenance to my RPI setup. I updated the system. In Node-Red I updated all outdated packages.
When pressing the button of the object in the Node-Red interface the output shows status information:
{"reachable":true, "connectionStatus":"connected", "button":false, "action":false, "updated":"2024-01-15T12:12:48+01:00"}
Output from the Hue Bridge node:
{"id":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "name":"Hue Bridge", "factoryNew":false, "replacesBridgeId":false, "dataStoreVersion":"165", "starterKitId":false, "softwareVersion":"1962097030", "apiVersion":"1.62.0", "zigbeeChannel":20, "macAddress":"XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX", "ipAddress":"192.168.112.155", "dhcpEnabled":true, "netmask":"255.255.255.128", "gateway":"192.168.112.190", "proxyAddress":false, "proxyPort":0, "utcTime":"2024-01-15T11:12:46", "timeZone":"Europe/Amsterdam", "localTime":"2024-01-15T12:12:46", "portalServicesEnabled":true, "portalConnected":"disconnected", "linkButtonEnabled":false, "touchlinkEnabled":false, "autoUpdatesEnabled":true, "users":[****], "updated":"2024-01-15T12:12:48+01:00", "model":{"id":"BSB002", "manufacturer":"Philips", "name":"Hue v2"}}
Node-Red-Contrib-Huemagic-Fork Version 4.2.8
NPM Version 8.19.4
Node JS Verion v16.20.2
Node-red Version: v3.02
System: RPI3B+
The current Hue firmware was released on 4 January, so that could also have broken something.
Update: I got it working again, which was (to be honost) more luck than wisdom. I tried to update NPM, NodeJS and Node-Red.
I got NPM to latest version, but then NodeJS could not be updated because my v16 was not compatible with the newest NPM.
Then I followed these instructions:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt remove node
sudo apt remove nodejs
sudo apt install nodejs
reboot
and it worked again!

What happened?
Hue Button stops sending messages on the output after some/random time. Hue bridge is responsive in Node-Red so connection in general seems to be there...
How to reproduce?
I do not know.
Expected behavior:
Hue Button should issue messages while node-red is running.
Additional comments?
Additional comments here, if any.
