Description

I downloaded the Android app and it worked great for about 24 hours (maybe less) and now when logging in it give me this error message.

Error: tried to load previous link ID XXXXXXX, but link not found

Logging in works great online but have not tried the desktop app since I'm in the office.

I did see a similar issue here on GitHub but was not exactly the same wording/language:
Bug 7262

FWIW: I did restart the app, tired on LTE and not wifi, and rebooted my device to no avail.

If you need any more information I'm happy to provide.

Research direction

The report names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the Android login failure after the link has expired or passed 24 hours, then trace the previous link ID lookup. Done means the reported login error no longer occurs and the related behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
