Azure cloud shell times out when connecting to exchange online

Does anyone know why my Azure cloud shell session times out when I try to connect to exchange online using the "connect-expossession".

The error is "cloud shell has been idle for 20 minutes or you have manually exited. Would you like to reconnect?

Regardless if I hit reconnect or quit this keeps happening. I've restarted the shell and even tried opening a new shell. This has been happening for about a week now and can't get the shell to connect to exchange online.

TIA

    Hello, @Ruben Contreras !

    I'm getting a 20 minute timeout message as soon as I run Connect-EXOPSSession as well. What we should be seeing is something like this. Let me do a bit of investigation on my end to see what may be causing this.

    (Update 1 of 2) For a split second I get the following error prior to the timeout/manual exit message:

    /user/bin/pwsh: symbol lookup error: /opt/microsoft/powershell/7-preview/libmi.so: undefined symbol: SSL_library_init

    (Update 2/2) The issue has been resolved and you should no longer encounter this error:
