I have the same behaviour, and it’s a bit annoying! Doing a fix on this ?🙏🏾🙏🏾 or a workaround?

Thanks @yingqiaozheng . I removed the brew version and re-installed with pip. Unfortunately, I have the same behavior - infinite loop of tabs opening affirming the snowflake connection, but dbt doesn’t seem to accept it.
