vscode: Settings sync is suspended due to auth issues, yet signing in again doesn't work
Issue Type: Bug
After updating to the latest version of VSCode, I am now seeing the following error repeatedly on restart:
Settings sync is suspended because of successive authorization failures. Please sign in again to continue synchronizing
Clicking the “Sign In” button shows the list of accounts, and shows my Microsoft account (which I am using for settings sync) as “Signed in”. If I then click my Microsoft account, nothing happens, and the same error is shown again.
I was able to successfully sign out and sign in again, and that seems to have resolved the immediate problem, but something clearly wasn’t in sync–some part of VSCode thought it couldn’t sync, and some other part thought it was signed in successfully.
Mostly filing this as an FYI in case there’s something here that needs to be looked into further.

Got the same error, even though I was already signed in. The main problem here is it’s not clear what to do with this error, especially that attached Sign in button doesn’t work. All you need to do is to choose an account for Settings Sync (last option, opens browser to sign in).
I had the issue yesterday and the only way to get rid of it was to sign into Github to use Live Share and that made it start working for Settings Sync as well.
In any case, I’m just looking to consolidate so I don’t have to manage two issues. They’re still linked so they’re easy to access from each other.
The person in the other issue has been using insiders, so I chose that one this time.
