Hi @anthonygiuliano - thanks for submitting the issue. I have been unable to repro so far, as I have been able to successfully connect to a Trailhead Playground org and refresh Standard Objects. Do you see anything downloaded to .sfdx/tools/sobjects/standardObjects? Or is that directory empty after getting the "Failure performing sObject describe aborted" error?

Thanks for the response! This is strange. I was also unable to reproduce this using a new project and a fresh playground (created last night). But I can still reproduce it using a new project and both of the original playgrounds I was using when I submitted this report. One of those was fresh at the time.

I've had all sorts of trouble creating trailhead playgrounds over the past few weeks. Is it possible the same problem was also causing this and has since been resolved? Yesterday was the first day I was able to create a playground without retrying several times. My friend was having the same problem creating playgrounds as of yesterday or Monday morning.

To answer your question though, there were no changes in .sfdx/tools/sobjects/standardObjects. Just the files that are there when I create a new project
