Gemini Code Assist VS Code: account bound to inaccessible phantom project ID (online-geode-fdt91) - cannot login #25674

@samplelennonberry-sketch

Description

Account email: sample.lennon.berry@gmail.com
OS: Windows 11
VS Code: 1.116.0
Extension version: 2.77.2 (also tried 2.78.0)

Problem:
After signing in, the extension automatically sets project ID "online-geode-fdt91" in geminicodeassist.project setting. This project does NOT exist in my Google Cloud Console and I have no access to it. Worked fine on April 19, 2026. Broke on April 20, 2026.

Steps already tried:

  • Deleted geminicodeassist.project from settings.json (regenerates automatically from server every time)
  • Downgraded extension to 2.77.2 and 2.77.3
  • Changed project ID to my own project gemini-vscode-493822 (Gemini API enabled, IAM permissions set correctly)
  • Cleared VS Code globalStorage cache
  • Added geminicodeassist.apiKey in settings.json
  • Revoked Google account permissions

Additional info: This account is a Google One AI Ultra subscriber (paid plan). This bug is completely blocking paid professional work.

Root cause: phantom project ID comes from cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:loadCodeAssist server response, not local storage. Cannot be fixed locally.

Please reset the cloudaicompanionProject server-side binding for this account.
