Section 4.2 says:
As specified in Section 5.8.3 of [RFC9200], the RS must notify the client with an error response with code 4.01 (Unauthorized) for any long running request before terminating the session, when the access token expires.
It should say:
As specified in Section 5.10.3 of [RFC9200], the RS must notify the client with an error response with code 4.01 (Unauthorized) for any long running request before terminating the session, when the access token expires.
Notes:
The quoted text from Section 4.2 of RFC 9203 defines interactions between the client and the RS.
However, the referred Section 5.8.3 of RFC 9200 is about error responses for interactions with the AS.
The right section of RFC 9200 to refer to is instead 5.10.3, which says:
"If a token that authorizes a long-running request, such as a CoAP Observe [RFC7641], expires, the RS MUST send an error response with the response code equivalent to the CoAP code 4.01 (Unauthorized) to the client and then terminate processing the long-running request."
