Codeium cat not loading

[RajeevAnju]

It looks like Codeium Chat is taking too long to load, do you want to reload? Reload - Codeium shows this issue in vs2022

Same with me. It says Connected but shows the button Retry Connection. Keep clicking that button and nothing happens.

It started after I updated to the current latest version 1.8.80. I could only revert to a very old version 1.6.13 since VS does not offer option to install just any earlier versions like VS Code does. So this older version works but it's really old.
