cli: v1.3.3 `cannot fetch plugin manfiest cli-ext error` happens intermittently

The following error has been happening intermittently for a bunch of users.

FATA[0003] failed to apply metadata: cannot apply metadata on the database: cannot build actions from metadata: cannot fetch plugin manfiest cli-ext

The current workaround is to rm -rf ~/.hasura and retry.

Happened to me, for the first time, after upgrading to CLI version 1.3.3:
