+## Troubleshooting
+{% details "Problem: Invalid authentication" %}
+
+This can happen during initial login or after some time. Please do the following steps:
+- Log in to your MyBMW **website** and verify your credentials (i.e. ensure that username and password are correct).
+- If you cannot login on the website, please **deactivate** polling (see [Defining a custom polling interval](#defining-a-custom-polling-interval)) and wait for **at least 24 hours**.
+- Once you can login to the website, reconfigure/reauthenticate the integration via {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %}, click {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} and select **Reconfigure**.
+- Activate polling again
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+{% details "Problem: Captcha validation missing" %}
+
+Sometimes, your account can be force-logged-out. For **North America** and **Rest of World**, the recovery requires manual intervention.
+
+Home Assistant will show a repair issue to **reconfigure** the integration. Follow the steps to log in again.
+
+{% enddetails %}
+
+## Known limitations
+- The entities available to Home Assistant depend on your vehicle. Even inside the same model code (e.g. U11 for BMW X1) you will see different entities, depending of your specific car's features.
+- Not all features, mostly related to charging control for (PH)EVs, are implemented. If you have a functionality in your MyBMW/MINI app that is not yet available, search for an existing feature request in the [`bimmer_connected` discussions](https://github.com/bimmerconnected/bimmer_connected/discussions) or create a new one.
