Description

I've been using the same basic code for a long time. In the past I'd get issues where about every other time it would fail to connect to my AP. But, I've been using 2.0.2 for a while and it seemed not to do that. However, with 2.0.3 I now get AUTH_EXPIRED as the reason for failing to connect. But, it only happens sometimes. It's probably about 40% of the time. It's nearly every other time but not consistently. It seems semi-random. I saw something like this get reported in #6767 but I'm using the standard ESP32 not the newer ESP32-C3.

Sketch

sketch is huge but any generic wifi connecting sketch seems to trigger this

Debug Message

20:31:40.721 -> [ 18242][D][WiFiGeneric.cpp:852] _eventCallback(): Arduino Event: 5 - STA_DISCONNECTED
20:31:40.721 -> [ 18242][W][WiFiGeneric.cpp:873] _eventCallback(): Reason: 2 - AUTH_EXPIRE
20:31:40.721 -> [ 18245][D][WiFiGeneric.cpp:889] _eventCallback(): WiFi Reconnect Running
20:31:40.754 -> 
20:31:40.754 -> STA Disconnected

Other Steps to Reproduce

Run my program which connects to wifi, unplug USB, plug it back in. There's a good chance the error will happen. Unplug, plug back in, works now in all likelihood.

Scratch that... 2.0.2 and 2.0.1 do the exact same thing. I suspect my router is being evil. Closing the issue because it's almost certainly on my end... Nothing to see here.

Same here.
And starting from the very latest version (i think) the AUTH_EXPIRE is followed by this:

22:10:06.208 > [  9965][D][WiFiGeneric.cpp:1035] _eventCallback(): Arduino Event: 5 - STA_DISCONNECTED
22:10:06.208 > [  9973][W][WiFiGeneric.cpp:1057] _eventCallback(): Reason: 201 - NO_AP_FOUND
