@mvtglobally the team can't reproduce it. Would you mind checking again?

I was just able to reproduce this

I see this console error An error occurred while applying merge for key: report_3473132785054582, Error: TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object and the response from OpenApp is:

jsonCode: 407
message: "Your session has expired. Please sign in again."
requestID: "76f430588efc4214-SJC"
title: "Session expired"

Which is weird because we just signed in so the AuthToken shouldn't be expired
