How do we get it to work for us? It seems the new api not supported without subscription. pwowm still uses the 2.5 API. The one_call API works with old accounts. The HA config flow uses https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall which only works with new free API keys. To fix that we could use the old weather API which still works for all keys:

diff --git a/homeassistant/components/openweathermap/config_flow.py b/homeassistant/components/openweathermap/config_flow.py

     owm = OWM(api_key).weather_manager()
-    return await hass.async_add_executor_job(owm.one_call, lat, lon)
+    return await hass.async_add_executor_job(owm.weather_at_coords, lat, lon)

This will allow to setup, Furher the only working mode will be hourly. Tested this with a new account.

Hey there @fabaff, @freekode, @nzapponi, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (openweathermap) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

Just tested this, and I cannnot reproduce your error at the moment. The integration seems to be working with my (free) API key.
