Also I don't have any /apps installed.

with

apps = false

It still gets stuck with message Working.

It will get unstuck if you send a message though, but you can't type any commands until then.

Does this happen with all sessions, or is it limited to some?

If you're able to resume one of the affected sessions, please use the /feedback slash command to upload the logs and session details, then post the thread ID here.

Doesn't happen with new sessions, I'm assuming because they are short. All of my other sessions are rather large so I assume that's the problem, but maybe not.

Seems like it's not happening anymore so maybe an backend issue...
