I haven’t got this to work for around 3 weeks now.

here’s a line from the logs:

Possibly fixed with v13.0.4 of wakatime as long as one of the supported SSL versions is available on your machine:

• 1.0.1
• 1.0.2
• 1.1.0
• 1.1.1

For me, openssl was already installed but I had the same issue. I then issued a brew install openssl command and restarted vscode and I was back in business.
