Hi @Harhoult, it looks like you're using a relatively old build, can you retry this with the latest stable build.

The exact same error suddenly appeared recently. I'm using a personal account with a free plan. @Harhoult Did you manage to figure out what the problem was?

I'm also having this issue. I have access through my company and had successfully managed to use Gemini code assist in VSCode with enterprise plan.
