whenever I run commands in the cloud shell, I always get a message to upgrade the cli

Question

whenever I run commands in the cloud shell, I always get this message:

New Azure CLI version available. Running 'az upgrade' to update automatically.
This command is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus
Your current Azure CLI version is 2.29.0. Latest version available is 2.29.1.
Please check the release notes first: https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/release-notes-azure-cli
Do you want to continue? (Y/n):

then when I type Y, I get this

az upgrade is not supported in Cloud Shell.
Auto upgrade failed with exit code 0

even running az upgrade manually gets the same error
the commands seem to complete successfully, but these popups are really annoying
any help would be appreciated,
thanks

HI @Abe Ungar ,

you could try az upgrade in a PowerShell session (not an Azure CLI session). Here this worked without any issues.

If this is not working install the Azure CLI this way: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-windows?tabs=azure-cli

Hi AndreasBaumgarten, thanks for responding
az upgrade works in powershell and azure cli on windows,
but it doesn't work in cloud shell, with powershell nor bash
