Almost every other day when using wikitech and performing a read or write action that involves openstack (e.g. listing instances, deleting instances, creating instances) they silently fail with very vague error messages.
The classical fix is to log out and log back in again, which is quite annoying (especially with 2-factor auth) and not very intuitive.

Still happening. @bd808 both encountered it in the last 2 days.
Except in the past where it would show an empty page or fail, it now says:
There were no Nova credentials found for your user account. Please ask a Nova administrator to create credentials for you.
As always, logging out and back in (2fa..) makes it work.
I think the best we can do is refresh project tokens. Unscoped tokens require your password which is only available during login. So we can probably log you out in that situation, but not much more.
