hi there!

i use weewx with belchertown skin and publish the data via mqtt. in versions < 5.0.1 mqtt publish the data to every full minute, like 10:01:00, 10:02:00 and so on... after upgrade the time is uneven, like:

Feb 6 09:56:50 weewx weewxd[4654]: INFO weewx.restx: MQTT: Published record 2024-02-06 09:56:50 CET (1707209810)

Seems like now weewx MQTT is emitting a message every time a LOOP packet arrives. Let me guess, you hardware is capable of measuring wind/gusts in a 2.5s interval, maybe a Tempest?
I don't know why this has changed, does Belchertown let you set the interval? Usually you set this like described here: https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt/blob/d1739f3d57f07f402ddd3c20ac10ad5f874be1e9/bin/user/mqtt.py#L33
