Version 2.30.0 weather module, stuck loading, worked fine before upgrade

[sdetweil]

Earlier this year, OpenWeather informed us users that they were discontinuing their old 2.5 api version (after 3 years of work)…

this requires a new apikey, which requires a credit card backing.
but some number of api requests per day are not charged, (as of 1/1/2025, 1000 api calls per day are ‘free’)

see https://openweathermap.org/guide

anyhow, we changed the module defaults to support the new ‘required’ api

other users have mentioned that that have changed the apiVersion back to 2.5
and set the weatherEndPoint back to /weather and /forecast (as appropriate)

apiVersion:.2.5,
weatherEndpoint:"/weather"
or
weatherEndpoint:"/forecast"

from the MM doc

NOTE: as we understand it, at some point in the future, the 2.5 api will stop working at all… (jan1 , 2024, June 15 , 2024, Oct 14, 2024… who knows)

@sdetweil I signed up for the new subscription and regenerated my API key (just to be safe). I remember it taking some time to show up the first time,so hopefully it will be back to normal in the morning! Thanks for the information.
