Describe the bug
I recently encountered this error message while trying to log into VRChat: "Could not log in - Created too many sessions for that user". Many users on the VRChat discord seem to believe this is an issue linked to VRCX, but I didn't see any reports here about the issue, so I wanted to open an issue here so VRCX's role in the issue can be properly documented

The advice I see commonly given on the VRChat Discord is to close VRCX and avoid attempting to log in for anywhere from half an hour to two hours

To Reproduce
I have no steps to reproduce this behavior consistently. I've been using VRCX for over a year, and this is the first time I've ever had this issue

Expected behavior
VRCX should maintain one session at a time, creating a single new session only when the old session expires (I have not verified whether or not VRCX is creating multiple sessions, some users have claimed it creates multiple sessions in some circumstances)

What version you are running
Version 2026.01.04

Miscellaneous Information
Since this issue seems rare, I wanted to document the API response when this situation occurs, in case it may be helpful for detecting and mitigating this issue

API Endpoint: https://vrchat.com/api/1/auth/user
Response Status: 429
Response Payload: {"error":{"message":"Created too many sessions for that user","status_code":429}}
