You need to check the box, otherwise the bot would auto close it 😅

[alextran1502]

Can you help open the developer console (F12) and see if it print out any error when you get into the looping state?

[GER13117]

I have the same issue. Because of the constant reloading, I was only able to make this screenshot. Hopefully it can help at least a little bit.

[alextran1502]

@GER13117 If you are using in incognito mode, are you still facing this issue?

[GER13117]

I did not use incognito mode. However, the infinite reload problem somehow disappeared for me.

I have the same issue since some versions, it comes every update and with open dev tools and cash reload I can fix it for the open session. After reopening the page on a new tab the problem occurs again.

After some days it fixes itself. I don't understand the issue 🙈

[alextran1502]

I think this is a cache issue with reverse proxy. We are looking into it for the cause

[adri1m64]

It is fixed for me too.

[aortmannm]

I think this is a cache issue with reverse proxy. We are looking into it for the cause

I think so too, I just don't understand why it works when I clear the local cache in the same tab but it happens again in a new tab, at least for some hours or days.

Hello,
I've had the same problem after migrating from 1.139.1 to 1.139.3
What i see from the devtools is that the main html page was cached a few days ago containing paths to JS files that do not exit anymore, but the service worker does not seem to update itself or the base html page content.

I updated this morning (25/08) and even after many reload of the page i can still see that the service worker is in an old version :

So is the cached HTML page :

Manually unvalidating the service worker did the trick for me.
