Failed switches - Kasa HS200 - rapidly blinking green wifi icon and white circle

I've had this issue going on for awhile.
I've installed a LOT of Kasa switches, 58 of them, of all kinds.
All successfully completed install.
After a period of time, over a few days, four of them showed offline on the app. All of them show rapidly blinking green WIFI icon and white circle.
If I press on, they all turn on and off (80-100 times a minute) the attached lights. Nothing will stop the blinking lights, pressing left reset for 15 seconds or longer, or right reset-to-default for 5 secs, 10 secs, or longer. On some unpredictable occurrence, they will suddenly show they are connected, solid white circle.
All of them are well within the mesh internet. Switches much further away or right next to them all work flawlessly.
The ONLY way to stop it is to remove the switch.
I did that with two them and reinstalled dumb light switches.
Before I remove the last two (on rarely used lights), I want to see if this is a fixable issue others have solved.
All the lights in the house are LED, builder installed.
One switch is to two sconces in the bathroom, and the other is to to sconces outside on the back porch. Different circuits on the breaker panel.

Dang. We've got a number of these switches. Have worked great for the couple of years we've had them. Now 1 is freaking out exactly as you describe. Am I really going to have to replace them all?

Yep, same here. Around a dozen switches installed in 2023, 4 have failed within the last two months with the same symptom list. (The latest happening at 4am and waking us up to a disco strobe)
Absolutely no chance I can trust TP Link switches now, especially with customer service avoiding responsibility for faulty hardware at every turn.
I now feel really dumb for the last year of recommending Kasa to my friends - lots of apologies to issue.
I'm swapping out to cheap dumb switches until I can figure out what brand to switch to
