Can you upgrade your mac to 12.4. We have heard that this fixes the issue.

Hi @rhatdan, thanks for the quick reply! I'll ask the system administrator if that's possible and get back to you.

Since this issue is somewhat out of our control and a discussion is happening in #14563, I am closing this issue.
