Hi @andrescyv,

This is a known bug. When you disconnect a GitHub account, the system doesn’t fully clear the cached connection info on our backend, so the old account keeps showing up even after you reconnect with a different one.

Our team is actively working on a fix. In the meantime, the stale data should clear on its own after some time (up to ~60 minutes). Could you try disconnecting and reconnecting one more time? If the old account still shows after about an hour, let us know here.

Hi @mohitjain, I’m experiencing the same issue. Any updates on that?

EDIT: After a few minutes, it seems to be working again, except that the name of the second account isn’t displayed, it’s still showing the first one, but I actually have access to all the repositories in the second account
