Error: Netlify CLI has terminated unexpectedly (latest versions since 22.2.0)

[bleeckerj]

Describe the bug

Non-stop error repeating very quickly and forever. This has occurred since version 22.2.0.

"Error: Netlify CLI has terminated unexpectedly.
This is a problem with the Netlify CLI, not with your application.
If you recently updated the CLI, consider reverting to an older version by running:

npm install -g netlify-cli@VERSION

This repeats forever until I kill VS Code.

Steps to reproduce

Update Netlify via

npm i -g netlify-cli

Configuration

netlify.toml
