[Dogfooding] Cannot access my workspace

Describe the bug

I’m using che.openshift.io for dogfooding. My workspace has been created two weeks ago and has been restarted dozens of times due to idle timeout and changing the devfile. This morning it become inaccessible. I don’t remember exactly, but it could have happened after login to che.openshift.io in another browser tab. After that my working Theia become unstable and after refreshing the browser tab I got a message that my workspace is already running and cannot be started. Having switched to the dashboard, I can see that my workspace is stopped. But under the hood it stay working.

I even cannot start another workspace due to the limit on running workspaces.

Error: Failed to run the workspace: "Unrecoverable event occurred: 'FailedCreate', 'Error creating: pods "workspace54hbwwq23bfudgw7.go-cli-7ffb9dbc7c-7rwm8" is forbidden: exceeded quota: compute-resources, requested: limits.cpu=3245m,limits.memory=1743028224, used: limits.cpu=15190m,limits.memory=8157003776, limited: limits.cpu=16,limits.memory=8Gi', 'workspace54hbwwq23bfudgw7.go-cli-7ffb9dbc7c'"

It’s critical issue, as the user can loose his sources.

Steps to reproduce

Difficult to say. In general, just use che.openshift.io for daily work. You can also open another browser tab and try to logout/login to che.openshift.io.
