Title: [BUG] Gemini Code Assist VS Code: Infinite Hang / Auto-populating Phantom Project ID (Personal AI Pro Sub)

Gemini API
1

Issue: I have a personal Google AI Pro subscription. When signing into the Gemini Code Assist extension in VS Code, the process hangs indefinitely.

Symptoms:

  • The extension automatically populates a Project ID in settings that I did not create.

  • If I delete the Project ID, it regenerates itself immediately.

  • The error shown is: “The set project ID is invalid or lacks permission.”

  • The system is incorrectly treating my personal account as an Enterprise/Google Cloud account.

Troubleshooting already performed:

  1. Deleted google-vscode-extension cache folder.

  2. Uninstalled “Google Cloud Code” extension (only Gemini Code Assist is installed).

  3. Attempted login via Incognito/different browsers.

  4. Set "geminicodeassist.enterpriseMode": false “geminicodeassist.subscriptionType”: “Individual”, “geminicodeassist.enable”: true in settings.json (it was ignored).

  5. Confirmed no active projects exist in my Google Cloud Console.

Goal: I need my account “unbound” from this phantom project so the extension recognizes my Individual AI Pro subscription.
