Description
I had two users that had this problem, and I can replicate on my machine.
When I have Alby Account not linked to any node, and try to link this (Windows) Alby Hub to my Alby Account, I'm (and other users) getting info that it couldn't be linked

In fact, on getalby.com/node it tells me that Alby Hub is linked
But the Hub still doesn't recognize it

Only after refresh (and on Windows there is no 'refresh' button like in browser, so the only thing to check things is to shut the app down and open it again (another issue?), it says it is linked to another wallet

Research direction
Reproduce the Windows flow with an Alby Account that is not linked to a node, then compare the Hub state with the account shown at getalby.com/node. Investigate why the app reports a failed or stale link until restart; done means the Hub reflects the current linking state without requiring a shutdown and reopen.
