The fact that there's no content or explanation after that dangling colon seems like a bug to me; it should have exception text or something.

Next refresh in 3140 seconds? But then it retries in way less time than that.
At some point, all the retries also blow up the rate limit from the API. From before I restarted:

Now, is the rate limiting the cause of the error ("Error fetching openei data: "), or is the error the cause of the retries and thus the rate limiting? I'll have to try disabling the integration for a full day to see if it recovers.
