Is that running on the same machine as node red is?
Tell us how you configured mqtt spy.
What OS/hardware are you running node-red on?
How did you install node-red?
Click on one of the MQTT In nodes you are using to test it and Export that node (Ctrl-E) and paste it here. When pasting use the `` button in the forum entry window.
What is the status showing under the MQTT node?
What is OVH?

Can you show us a screenshot of that?
Please stop node-red then start it again in a command window and copy/paste the full output here. This is the `` button you should use when pasting code, logs etc

Looks like you have reused "HUTCHINSON" as the client ID in another MQTT client.
Try changing this to **HUTCHINSON2**. Does it still disconnect/connect over and over?
Failing that, you might have a bad topic or option set. So if the above doesn't work, tell us what broker type& version this is connecting to and show us how you have setup the client (broker config) properties in node-red
