What is the problem?

When I start OctoPrint, the UPS plugin status is blank. journalctl shows the following error spamming once or twice per second:

octoprint[793]: 2024-09-20 11:31:45,697 - octoprint.plugins.ups - ERROR - An exception occurred while getting vars info
octoprint[793]: Traceback (most recent call last):

What did you already try to solve it?

I go into the plugin settings for UPS, click save. No config change required. This fixes the issue. Afterward I see this in the journal log:

octoprint.plugins.ups - INFO - Connection information changed.

Afterward the errors stop and the UPS icon in the status bar updates with correct info.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Hopefully you've reported on the plugin's GitHub repo issue tracker already so @kantlivelong can be aware.

Seems like it's the same as this issue: https://github.com/kantlivelong/OctoPrint-UPS/issues/12 and should be fixed but not released yet maybe?

Thank you @jneilliii , I will cross-post there. I did many googles on this but I didn't come across the articles you mentioned. I will give them a read.
