FYI I was able to solve this by enabling the local API in Awair and using that instead. It’s documented here:
Awair Local Sensors - Share your Projects! - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)
What’s sad is that the local API is 100% dependable, more-so than even Awair’s actual app so I just use HA now all the time to get the information.
I deleted the official HA Awair cloud-based integration.
