Configuring Google Assistant component for more than 7 days

Configuration
1

Hi All
I’ve configured the Google Assistant component successfully and everything works
However, I was referred to the testing documents where it states the testing period will be available for only 7 days, which after the package will have to be re-uploaded using gaction.

Here are the docs :
https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/simulator

Is there a workaround ?
Maybe adding a cron job ?

I don’t think you need to worry about that as we don’t use the simulator.
I’ve had my GA set up for well over 7 days and it still works…

Actually I think I already encountered this issue.
The Google Home didn’t function at all and I couldn’t understand what was the issue,
I have re-configured everything and it got back, I’m not sure what happened was this test timeout but it’s sounds reasonable.
I’m not sure it relates only to the ‘simulator’.

I think it just happened to me today again.
my Google Assistant component just stops working.
If I ask my Google Home/Assistant to activate any of my devices I get the error :

"I'm sorry, there was an error and I'm unable to control your home device."

When I try to use the ‘google_assistant.request_sync’ service, I can see the request fails:

"ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.google_assistant] request_sync request failed: 500 b'{\n  "error": {\n    "code": 500,\n    "message": "Internal error encountered.",\n    "status": "INTERNAL"\n  }\n}\n'"

I noticed Google mentions the app is only testable for 7 days and after that period Ill have to reupload the action package.
So I’ve looked on the project history and it looks like it was created 10 days ago (and today it stopped) so I’m not sure it’s related but that’s the only thing I can think about.
Recreating the project and configuring the component from scratch works fine, but doing that every few days is too much.
Any ideas ?

Mine has been configured for a couple of weeks and still works just fine.

Totally weird, any idea how I can debug this issue ?

Same issue here… Any Clues on how to debug?

Go to the app console and do a test draft. It should reactivate it again in your google home app to relink/unlink etc.
