In a new RStudio Cloud project, when installing tidyr, I got this. Sorry there is a lot of output, but if you scroll down you see the 500 error for tidyr itself:

Is there anyway around this? Outside of RStudio Cloud, specifically in fresh rocker/r-ver:latest container, I had no problem installing tidyr with the repository server being https://packagemanager.rstudio.com. Can we change RStudio Cloud to use a different repo server?
For reference, the RStudio project URL is RStudio Cloud
