hi @Nikita_Buldakov and thank you for the post. Unfortunately several AI providers have blocked access in certain regions which is why you may be having this issue. As this is controlled by AI providers it is not changeable from our side.

I suggest testing from a different internet connection as well.

Thanks for the reply!

I see. Everything was working fine recently, so I thought maybe there were some limitations on your end.

P.S.: I just discovered that working with the agent in the “Agent” tab still works, but the “Edit selection” function in the code editor doesn’t.
