Sometimes it happens that a request to the HPB service to update the account properties can not be validated by the HPB service (https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/blob/0526b72b8fae3164c252d9d044a9a85d47f1a520/lib/Controller/HostedSignalingServerController.php#L62). If this happens the HPB service request returns a 401 Unauthorized which causes the account to be marked as "expired". This causes confusion with customers that see a notification about the expired account (that still can be used successfully).
While it's a bug that the validation fails, also accounts should not be marked as "expired" then.
