Nest source encounters 409 and retry attempts hit 429 rate-limit

[trvrnrth]

I have a nest hello gen 1 wired doorbell source which, after some time experiences a 409 response:

error="streams: nest: wrong status: 409 Conflict, exec: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_door?audio: Invalid data found when processing input\n" stream=front_door

It appears that there is no back-off on attempts to re-connect so these are then rate-limited:

error="streams: nest: wrong status: 429 Too Many Requests, exec: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_door?audio: Invalid data found when processing input\n" stream=front_door

The full error message grabbed from the Device Access Sample App at this time is:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 429,
    "message": "Rate limited for the GenerateWebRtcStream API for the user.",
    "status": "RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED"
  }
}

At this point a restart is not sufficient to re-connect. go2rtc must be stopped for some time to allow the rate limit to "clear" before being started again (in my case this is a case of manually stopping, waiting a few minutes then starting the HA Frigate add-on).

I am unclear what causes the initial 409 conflict response, but implementing a back-off on at least the 429 response would be good. I guess it might make sense to just back-off on any error which would lessen the chance of hitting the rate limit in the first place.

Here is a full extract from the logs at the time of last failure:

I had a bit of time to do some local debugging of this and realised I'd not provided my stream config in the issue above:

streams:
  front_door:
    - nest:?client_id=REDACTED&client_secret=REDACTED&device_id=REDACTED&project_id=REDACTED&refresh_token=REDACTED
    - "ffmpeg:front_door#audio=aac

The testing I've done suggests that the fixed 5 second retry I'm seeing stems from the ffmpeg audio transcode I have in place so I am currently testing with a 60 second timeout as follows to see if this helps:

      - "ffmpeg:front_door#audio=aac#input=-fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -timeout 60000000 -user_agent go2rtc/ffmpeg -rtsp_flags prefer_tcp -i {input}"
