Error message

res.Status

What it means

pkg/xiaomi cloud Request performs an HTTP call to the Xiaomi cloud API. Any non-200 status code is converted to an error whose message is the raw res.Status line (e.g. '403 Forbidden'), since Xiaomi signals failures at the HTTP level rather than in the JSON body.

Solutions

1. Re-login to refresh cookies/service tokens, then retry the request
2. Check the status code text in the error to identify 401/403 (auth) vs 429 (rate limit) vs 5xx (server)
3. Verify the correct regional API endpoint for your Xiaomi account
4. Reduce polling frequency if hitting rate limits

Example fix

// before
resp, err := cloud.Request(staleClient, url, payload) // errors: res.Status
// after
if err := cloud.Login(user, pass); err != nil { return err } // refresh tokens first
resp, err := cloud.Request(freshClient, url, payload)

res, err := cloud.Request(client, url, payload)
if err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "401") || strings.Contains(err.Error(), "403") {
        // re-authenticate then retry once
    }
    return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling xiaomi cloud Request when the server returns a non-OK status: expired/invalid auth cookies or service token, rate limiting, server-side 5xx, or wrong endpoint/region.

Common situations: Stale stored login cookies after Xiaomi session expiry; calling the wrong regional endpoint (cn vs de vs us); Xiaomi throttling frequent polling requests.
