That's very odd! Could you try logging into Zed and see if that works? "Sign in" in the top right corner 🙏

[BedRockJie]

It suddenly became possible to log in again, which is strange. This seems to trigger under certain specific circumstances. Could it be because I had Gemini CLI open before?

[franciskafyi]

Weird! Anything interesting in your Logs?

Gemini CLI shouldn't interfere with this.

[BedRockJie]

I don't have that issue anymore. I closed all sessions, and now it's working properly.
