@imtuyethan, could you please help me backup the threads folder and share it here? That way, I can reproduce the issue more easily.

@imtuyethan @imtuyethan I checked the VM, and you have two instances of Jan running simultaneously (Jan & Jan-beta). Consequently, the cortex.cpp server conflicts with each other, which is why you're experiencing this issue. This is a known problem, and unfortunately, we don't support running two instances of cortex.server at the moment.
