Ollama session cookie is invalid or expired.

Error message

Ollama session cookie is invalid or expired.

What it means

MissingAuthError raised by the Ollama cloud provider while scraping the ollama.com account settings page (to read quota usage): the fetched HTML looks like a sign-in form — the code heuristically detects combinations of a form tag with password/email inputs or auth endpoints (has_sign_in/has_form/has_password/has_email/has_auth_endpoint). Receiving a login page instead of the settings page means the session cookie is missing, invalid, or expired.

Solutions

1. Log in to ollama.com in a browser, copy the fresh session cookie, and update the stored credential used by AuthManager (set the Ollama api_key/cookie again).
2. Verify the cookie works outside g4f: curl -s -H 'Cookie: <cookie>' https://ollama.com/settings should show the settings page, not a login form.
3. If ollama.com changed its markup/flow, update the provider (or g4f) to the new auth/quota surface.

import requests
r = requests.get('https://ollama.com/settings', cookies={'session': cookie})
if 'sign in' in r.text.lower() or r.url.endswith('/login'):
    raise SystemExit('Ollama session cookie expired — refresh it')

try:
    quota = await Ollama.get_quota(...)
except MissingAuthError:
    # re-prompt user for a fresh ollama.com session cookie
    ...

When it happens

Trigger: Calling Ollama methods that scrape ollama.com (quota/settings endpoints) with an api_key/session cookie that ollama.com no longer accepts; the cookie expired (sessions are time-limited); the AuthManager returned a placeholder/empty cookie; or ollama.com changed its auth flow so a valid cookie still redirects to a login page.

Common situations: Using an Ollama web session cookie copied weeks earlier; rotating cookies after password changes/logging out in the browser; ollama.com shipping a redesigned login/settings flow that trips the form heuristics even when authenticated.
