Sign in to create an API key.

Error message

Sign in to create an API key.

What it means

UI service error in createApiKey: no Clerk user is currently authenticated (getCurrentClerkUser returned null). API keys are per-user, so key creation is impossible without a session. It is a precondition guard, not a server failure.

Solutions

1. Sign in and wait for the Clerk session to fully load before retrying
2. If already signed in, the session may still be initializing — retry after auth state settles
