what happened:

had to reset android phone
reinstalled whatsapp android app
bridgebot reported bridge connection was closed
reconnected, that failed
tried to login, error 'already logged in'
tried to logout, error 'You are not connected to WhatsApp. Use the reconnect command to reconnect'
tried to reconnect, error: 'Unknown error while reconnecting: admin login responded with 401'

!wa delete-session can now be used to get out of that situation. I guess it could also try to recognize admin login responded with 401 errors and automatically delete the session, since deleting the session isn't too destructive

I think ideal functionality should always be to automatically recover and avoid alerting the user in as many cases as possible. set it and forget it etc.
