  - usbhid-ups updates:
    * Support of the `onlinedischarge_log_throttle_hovercharge` in the NUT
      v2.8.2 release was found to be incomplete. [#2423, follow-up to #2215]
+   * Prevent UPS Lockup on "0 HID Objects" by reconnecting on stale data.
+     Note that while some devices just report information upon subsequent
+     poll, others (APC BXnnnnMI) were seen to lock up until full connection
+     restart. [#2671]
    * Added support for `lbrb_log_delay_sec=N` setting to delay propagation of
      `LB` or `LB+RB` state (buggy with APC BXnnnnMI devices circa 2023-2024).
      This may work better with flags like `onlinedischarge_calibration` and
