TL;DR

The issue may be related to a timeout or performance problem, and attaching the exported chat history JSON file could help diagnose the issue.

Guidance

  • Check the system's memory usage and available resources to ensure they are not causing the slowdown.
  • Verify if the issue is specific to the gemini-3-flash-preview model version or if it occurs with other models.
  • Review the chat history to identify any patterns or common factors that may be contributing to the long wait times.
  • Consider testing the CLI with a different auth type or environment to isolate the issue.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without the exported chat history JSON file, it's difficult to determine the root cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Collect and analyze the chat history data to identify potential bottlenecks or areas for optimization, as this may help resolve or mitigate the issue.
