We are using postman on win10/11, and within the last couple weeks, the entire program/git implementation seems to be getting worse and worse.

- opening requests just opens a blank tab and causes the app to lag
- it forgets branches you have created
- it forgets changes you have made and want to commit
- tests run ok on localhost but fails on pipelines (sometimes fails randomly on random tests, this has never been an issue, and we tried with older branches on older pipelines to be sure it was not a coding error/ corrupt data).

This is for both desktop app and on the webapp.

Is anyone experiencing the same?

Hey @squeekazoit 👋🏻

Just for clarity as it’s not been explicitly mentioned, are you using the API Builder and a git-linked API?

Have you tried using the following menu option to clear the cache and reload?

Which version of the Desktop app are you using and which license plan are you currently on?

Hi Danny, thanks for replying! 👍  
We are using the git-linked api, version v11.16.0.

Have tried the both the cache clear and reload. Will do some testing again and return with feedback.
