Backend Disconnected stuck in a loop

I was able to use posit assit a few times but I needed to restart my R session to clear everything and now posit assist is stuck in a loop. I am logged in via the global options but when going to the actual pane it wants me to configure providers...once clicked it says Backend Disconnected waiting for connection to server... and just does this on repeat. It says I'm not signed in but in the global options it says that I am.
