Error message

%s: %w

What it means

webex httpClient.doWithRetry wraps the transport error from do() for every Webex REST call (GetMe, CreateDevice, DeleteDevice, GetMessage, DownloadFile, PostMessage); the 'what' label names the operation. 401 (errUnauthorized) and 429 (Retry-After) handling happen only after this wrapper returns a response.
