Also not an i2c expert, but a datapoint: I have a BME280 hooked up to an
ESP8266 with nodemcu, and sometimes the BME280 goes out to lunch somehow
so I stop getting reports.  That leads to a watchdog reset after 15
minutes from not posting to MQTT (cleared in puback callback), but even
on reboot I don't get temp reports.  Power cycling does get it working
again.

I was earlier using automatic mode. I switched to forced mode, and I
think I've had a failure since.  I have hints that the problem is
provoked by power glitches and static electricity.  (The ESP8266 was
powered by an old phone charger, but one that is UL listed.)

I have several other ESP8266 that have Si7021 temperature/humidity
sensors and those have been reliable, flaky power and crazy low humidity
included.

I have been thinking that my particular BME280 is damaged somehow.

So I would suggest that the OP power cycle it and see if that changes
anything.
