Got the exact same thing here, using Gemini with an API key.

That's an interesting comment - I realized I have a gemini api key in my env.

`GEMINI_API_KEY="" gemini` + login using my Google account solves the problem.

That works for me, however, it automatically switches me to gemini-2.5-flash:

Slow response times detected. Automatically switching from gemini-2.5-pro to gemini-2.5-flash for faster responses for the remainder of this session.

To avoid this you can utilize a Gemini API Key. See: https://goo.gle/gemini-cli-docs-auth#gemini-api-key

You can switch authentication methods by typing /auth

Yeah I also just gave up. I'll revisit it in a week or so.
