Probably your API login token is time limited, and therefore it expires after X days.  
It’s quite common practice I think.

I have tado myself, the expiration happens (estimated) once in 9 to 12 months.

You’ll have to request for a token check at the app developer I guess. I’m sure they “forgot” (meaning: too much work for a small customer fixable 2 time a year issue)

Unfortunately there’s more silent errors @ Homey…  
Did the flow get ‘broken’? Did the tado device cards have a `!` sign on them?  
If so, you can use [Flow Checker](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-flow-checker/50986) to detect that and you’ll have a workaround.
