Stuck VM session

Session is stuck. Will not recover but still burning usage.

Bug is on both mobile and web.

Have singed out/signed in. Closed/reopened. Deleted app/reinstalled. And obviously used the recover and retry options.

Hey @Austin_A, sorry about this one, and thanks for your patience.

Your computer finished its automatic rebuild and came back online around 15:20 UTC today. Your Bots and files are preserved. If the app is still showing the stuck screen, please fully quit and reopen it and it should reconnect normally!
