Yep:
Home Assistant
0.47.0
You shouldn’t have to replace any file then.
I believe I did that before 0.47 to try and get it working. I upgraded to 0.47 last weekend but the USPS sensor is still not working. Is there something else that needs to be done?
Bug report is here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/8195
Has there been any headway with this?
been having the same problem. sometimes it works , sometimes it doesnt. any news?
when it does NOT work log:

any new on this, I see that 0.48.1 came out. but change log dont say anything about this.
Cross posting this in the bug report here that @danodemano mention / created.
I’ve tried the many tweaks that have been explored for the issues on these awesomely useful little components, even had my own post that didn’t have anything too special in it.
But I have noticed lately, it seems to work fine so long as I nuke the pickle file ahead of time and let it get recreated.
So, tonight I took a step back and thought about it. Then I looked at file permissions on the .pickle file.
-rw-r--r-- 1 homeassistant 5.2K Jul 9 01:18 usps_cookies.pickle
drwxrwxrwx 2 root 4.0K May 12 15:31 www/
I went nuclear with ➜ .homeassistant please chmod 777 /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/usps_cookies.pickle
Now we see:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 homeassistant 5.2K Jul 9 01:18 usps_cookies.pickle*
drwxrwxrwx 2 root 4.0K May 12 15:31 www/
And I have no more Not logged in errors.
Restarted Home Assistant via hassctl restart several times.
Running on a Raspberry Pi 3, All in One install, Home-Assistant 0.48.0
@jonathanweinberg - great thought, unfortunately it’s still not working for me:

myusps.USPSError: authentication failedSo after testing with a wonderful redditor, this was determined. If you force remove the usps dep directory and the pickle file then reload HA it works, for a while. Seems after another restart or two though it’s buggered up again.
Working to try and add this to the start script as a workaround. Still looking for a permanent solution. 
EDIT: added this to my startup script:
ExecStartPre=rm -rf /ha_user/.homeassistant/deps/myusps*
ExecStartPre=rm -rf /ha_user/.homeassistant/usps_cookies.pickle

Very helpful! I found the same behavior, and just deleting the pickle file on every start of hass seems to have resolved my issue. This solution is a little kludgey but it works.
I also found adding in the deletion of the pickle file helpful. However, after leaving the system running for several days, the mail sensor shows the last update was 3 days ago but the package sensors shows 1 day ago. Today I have 2 pieces of mail and yesterday I had 5. After a restart the mail sensor updates itself with the current data.
I have not noticed an errors in the logs with the sensor set to debug level in the log.
LOL, it’s a MASSIVE kludge. And the IT guy in me hates myself for it, but it does work so I’ve just rolled with it.
Not sure what happens after a few days, I don’t seem to let mine run for too long without a restart. I’ll keep an eye on it and see if I can reproduce.
Ugh, and we are back to broken again (0.50.1):

myusps.USPSError: authentication failedI just updated and deleted my pickle file and it loaded fine. Could be I am also using the new usps camera stuff.
I actually restarted again to try and add my TPlink bulb and it seems to be working (restart nukes the pickle file and the entire usps deps directory). We’ll see if it stays that way…
Can you share a sample of your start up script? I cant get it to work. I have tried chmod 777 on the pickle file and chown to homeassistant.
This is what mine looks like.
