Version 4.8.5
Current version is 5.6.4, while 4.x versions of ring-mqtt have been obsolete/unsupported for over 2 years, there is no longer even a simple upgrade path so you will have to uninstall v4.8.5 and install v5.6.4 from scratch.
Wow, I can't believe I missed that. Sorry for assuming that since it showed no update, that it was up to date! Thanks for your time and response.
It's quite strange that it does not show an update, as 4.8.5 was not even the last version of the 4.x branch. Not only that, but of the >4000 installations that report statistics via Home Assistant analytics, only 8 are still on 4.8.5, while >3500 are on the latest 5.6.4 version and another 457 are on the previous 5.6.3 build, so that 3981. When a new version is pushed it usually takes <72 hours to hit >50% of users on the latest version due to auto-update.
Also, just for reference, uninstalling the old addon and re-installing the new one should be quite painless overall, especially since it looks like you are using mostly defaults. Just plugin stuff like your livestream user/password and disarm code back into the config, re-authenticate, and things should be basically the same. There's some additional notes still at:

I found that for some reason I had removed the repo from the custom repo list. That is likely why I didn't show any update. Also, I did find that article and the upgrade was painless, just like you said.
Thanks again
