@MahmoudMody96

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • App version: Latest (installed 5/26/2026)
  • Launch flags: --disable-gpu --disable-gpu-compositing --disable-software-rasterizer --no-sandbox
  • Model: MiniMax-M2.7
  • Plan: TokenPlan Monthly Max

Bug Description
The desktop app randomly returns:
"Forbidden: request was blocked by a gateway or proxy. You may not have permission to access this resource"

Key observations

  • Browser version (agent.minimax.io) works perfectly with the same account
  • Token usage is very low (61/15,000 in current 5-hour window)
  • Running the app as Administrator sometimes fixes it temporarily, but the error returns
  • Reinstalling the app did not fix the issue
  • Clearing app cache did not fix the issue
  • The error started suddenly after the app was working fine

Expected behavior
Desktop app should work the same as the browser version.
