How to correctly "disconnect" from the API?

Context: enabling console debug with setting DEBUG=ring

I'm using RingApi.disconnect() to disconnect from the service. While the motion notifications are stopped, I still get:

Bypassing proxy for URL: [POST] https://android.clients.google.com/checkin
Message dropped as it could not be decrypted: crypto-key is missing
Bypassing proxy for URL: [POST] https://android.clients.google.com/checkin

Message dropped as it could not be decrypted: crypto-key is missing
Bypassing proxy for URL: [POST] https://android.clients.google.com/checkin
Message dropped as it could not be decrypted: crypto-key is missing

so it seems like the RingApi is still trying to checkin with FCM for messages, and some other motion unrelated notifications such as (Transient information masked)

  ring Received push notification in unknown format +2m
  ring {"data":{"gcmData":"{\"aps\":{\"alert\":\"The Privacy Cover for Desk was opened.\"},\"action\":\"com.ring.push.CAM_PRIVACY_SHUTTER_OFF\",\"data\":{\"doorbot_id\":xxxxxx,\"location_id\":\"xxxxx\"}}"},"from":"xxxxxx","priority":"normal","fcmMessageId":"xxxxx"} +0ms
  

is still being collected..

So the question is, how should I completely disconnect from the API (from Ring and from Firebase)?

I don't really think disconnnect() is maintained very well as the primary use case this for which the library was written requires a persistent connection, so disconnect only happens with the process exits. Looks like it should be updated to shutdown push-receiver connection. I'm sure PRs would be accepted to address that.
