It’s most probably a service down, but it’s like the second or third day here since it stoped working. Also, why does it says that the "Embeddings improve your codebase-wide answers. All code is stored locally " My code is but my embeddings aren’t ? since the service it’s down it sure uses a cloud service to index those right ? or ? thanks ---

will the answers still be less accurate if i only provide 3 or files as context and the answer doesn’t need the context of the whole codebase? ---
