Google smart home responds mode not available for authFailure errorCode

Question

I have implemented google smart home skill. I have function to validate token. If token is not valid I return payload as below

{
    requestId : from req,
    payload : {
       errorCode : "authFailure"
    }
}

For Query intent google responds proper error message like "Can't Seem to reach your electric. Try checking the app to make sure your device is fully set up"

But For Execute intent, First query intent is called as I can see in logs. Where Same payload is returned. But google responds with message "Sorry that mode is not available."

I am not able to understand this behaviour.
