The log messages showing "The client ID was reused" indicates that you are running multiple clients using the same credentials - so although you have closed the connection from one client, the other clients continue to connect. If you can't find these clients (the log messages will contain the IP addresses to help you find them) then you can revoke access for the other clients by changing the device's password. This will prevent the spurious clients from connecting.
