I don't AUTH to it. But I just keep rolling with subscriptions.

But if I get an 'auth-required' for a subscription and I don't want to auth, I save that subscription in a list of "failed subscriptions" which I do not retry (for the duration of the session).

If I *do* want to auth, then I put the subscription aside, do the auth, and once that is completed I retry the subscription.

If I get an auth-required after I think auth was completed, I just drop the subscription but I don't ban it into the "failed subscriptions" list. 

 this is a great approach
