BUG: Individual AI Pro account stuck on ghost Project ID "pragmatic-bruin-b3ksb" (VS Code Gemini Code Assist) #1223

Environment:
(Hint: "Report Extension Issue on Github" command will fill these out for you.)

Version information

Cloud Code Extension version:

Environment:

  • OS: Windows
  • IDE: VS Code (latest)
  • Extension: Gemini Code Assist v2.77.0 (and earlier)
  • Account Type: Individual Google One AI Premium (Not Enterprise)

Description:
I am an individual subscriber to Google One AI Premium (5TB). However, I am completely unable to use Gemini Code Assist in VS Code because my account seems to be incorrectly routed to the Enterprise flow on the backend.

When I finish the OAuth login in the browser and return to VS Code, the extension constantly prompts me to select a Google Cloud Project. What's worse, it automatically injects a ghost project ID: pragmatic-bruin-b3ksb into my settings.

I do NOT own this project, nor do I have permission to view it. This causes a continuous Error 429 / Permission Denied loop.

What I have tried (and failed):

  1. Completely disabled VS Code Settings Sync.
  2. Clean reinstall of VS Code (deleted .vscode, AppData/Roaming/Code, and AppData/Local/cloud-code).
  3. Manually clearing settings.json.
    Despite a 100% clean environment, the moment I log in, the server forcefully syncs pragmatic-bruin-b3ksb back into my workspace/tier configuration.

Logs snippet showing the server-side injection and subsequent crash:

I0403 10:20:29.321904 5036 tier.go:17] Received tier configuration request: {ProjectID:pragmatic-bruin-b3ksb UserDefinedCloudaicompanionProject:true}
I0403 10:20:30.904856 5036 server.go:495] error fulfilling "service/healthcheck" request #5, &{"projectID":"pragmatic-bruin-b3ksb"}: trace ID: ... googleapi: Error 429: Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota)., rateLimitExceeded

Request:
Since this ghost ID is bound to my account on the Google backend, I cannot fix this locally. Could an engineer please help reset the server-side cloudaicompanionProject binding for my account? (I am happy to provide my Google account email via a private message).

Thank you!
