Personal account stuck in Enterprise loop (Ghost Project ID: tenacious-tine-v5jhs)

[alexandruchindea]

My personal account is being misidentified as an Enterprise account, forcing a project ID requirement that I cannot clear.

Symptoms:

Project ID `tenacious-tine-v5jhs` (which I never created) keeps reappearing in VS Code settings.

Setting `geminicodeassist.project` to `""` or deleting it does not work; it is re-injected upon authentication.

Extension version: `2.70.0` (tried downgrading to `2.63.0`, no change).

Technical Proof from Logs: workspace/tierConfiguration: {"userDefinedCloudaicompanionProject":true,"projectId":"tenacious-tine-v5jhs"} Configured settings for cloudCodeOpts: {"Project":"tenacious-tine-v5jhs"}

Troubleshooting already performed:

Deleted `%AppData%\Roaming\cloud-code` and `%AppData%\Code\User\globalStorage\google.gcloud-code`.

Ran `gcloud config unset project` (found via Program Files).

Deleted `.gemini` folder in workspace.

Signed out/in multiple times.

Request: Please reset the server-side project binding for my account so it can correctly route to the "Individual" tier.

Same problem for me, and even setting it to an existing project does not fix the agent mode. Chat-Mode is working fine though no matter which project ID is set. Personal Account with paid subscription.

Agent mode requests results in errors in the Gemini Code Assist Output like:
I0210 22:54:37.935464 4280 conn_opt.go:99] jsonrpc2: <-- error #899: conversation/agent/chat: {"code":-32603,"message":"getting conversation response: A2A SendMessageStreaming call failed: failed to send request: Post \"\": unsupported protocol scheme \"\"","data":null} Error getting chat response (code: -32603): getting conversation response: A2A SendMessageStreaming call failed: failed to send request: Post "": unsupported protocol scheme ""

Subject: Permanent 403 Forbidden / Project Binding Loop for Gemini Individual Pro User

User Identity: dhavalandha@gmail.com Environment: VS Code (Linux/Pop!_OS), Gemini Code Assist Extension (Insiders Channel).

Problem Description: I am a Gemini Pro Individual subscriber being incorrectly forced into an Enterprise "Project Selection" workflow. Despite being an individual user, the extension is stuck attempting to bind to a non-existent or inaccessible project ID: xerotic-vector-tll0l.

Steps Taken (All Failed):

Full Local Wipe: Deleted ~/.config/Code, globalStorage, and workspaceStorage multiple times to clear local cache.

Project Deletion: Created a new project (lotus-gemini-v2) and assigned "Owner," "Service Usage Consumer," and "Cloud AI Companion User" roles, but the extension still returns Permission 'cloudaicompanion.companions.generateChat' denied.

Settings Sync Conflict: Manually deleted geminicodeassist.project from settings.json, but the ghost ID xerotic-vector-tll0l is restored from the cloud immediately upon saving, even when added to settingsSync.ignoredSettings.

UI Dead End: The Gemini sidebar is stuck on "Select a Google Cloud Project" with no option to skip or select "Gemini for Individuals".

Requested Action: Please clear any server-side project bindings for my account and reset my "User Tier" to g1-pro-tier (Individual) so the extension stops requiring a Google Cloud Project ID.
