I realized something new this AM. I ran the GR update and noticed that on connect, I'm now not even pulling in an updated reading position from the device.
No factory resets have been done.

The logs tell me it is as I expected. The plugin has lost track of the device and isn't connecting it to the profile. That means it isn't running the fetch as that is device specific. You can see what I mean by going to the devices tab in the plugins configuration when the device is connected. This will show the Kobo Clara HD in the list with a serial number. But, it won't have an icon in the status column, the version column will be empty and the "Add connected device" button will be enabled.
The most common reason for this is a factory reset. But, deleting the file "driveinfo.calibre" from the root directory of the device will also do it. The id for the matching comes from that file. If the file doesn't exist, calibre creates it. The id is randomly generated, so it will change.
As I said in the post I linked, if you only have the one Kobo ereader, the simplest thing to do is to selected "*Any Device" in the configuration for the plugin. If you do have multiple devices, and want to have different configurations for them, you need to update the known devices in Devices tab. And then select it in the profile.
I will have to revisit how this is done in the plugin. It probably should use the serial number, but, there are some issues with that.
