Invalid API key

I am having no luck getting up and running with the extension on VSCodium Version: 1.73.1 Contents of ~/.wakatime.cfg are…

[settings]
debug = true
api_key = waka_key

I’ve tried reinstalling the extension and even nuked my account and created a new one but I only see a message saying Invalid API key…check wakatime.com/settings

Console returns

workbench.desktop.main.js:87 [Extension Host] [WakaTime][WARN] Unable to get api key: Error: could not read ~/.wakatime.cfg

Is this file supposed to be written at install? In my case I have to create it and still the same issue. I know this issue is duplicated and closed, but no solutions are available in older issues.

~/.wakatime.log file contents…

It should work with the prefix too now.

Thanks for the FB, Alan. I got the thing to work finally after a clean environment rebuild, and minimal configuration with an API key without the waka_ prefix.
