SFDX: retrieve source in Manifest from org - Metadata API request failed: INVALID_LOCATOR: Retrieve result has been deleted


VS Code 1.59.0 - suddenly I cannot run "retrieve source in Manifest from org" command without failure: Metadata API request failed: INVALID_LOCATOR: Retrieve result has been deleted. Oddly, if the manifest ONLY contains the ApexTrigger type, it works fine.

Salesforce CLI Integration is v52.9.0

retrieve source in Manifest from org works fine for a different developer (same Org) using VS Code v1.47.3

Steps To Reproduce:

SFDX : Create new Project with Manifest, pick save folder

Trust the project folder

SFDX: Authorise an Org, select Sandbox, type name, log in Salesforce (SUCCESS)

Right click package.xml file in manifest folder, select SFDX: Retrieve Source in Manifest from Org

Expected result

SFDX: Retrieve Source from Org successfully ran

Actual result

Metadata API request failed: INVALID_LOCATOR: Retrieve result has been deleted.

Additional information

This seems to be a new problem, I didn't notice it until I applied the June 2021 version of VS Code. I do not know how to get more verbosity on the error message or if there is logging somewhere

Salesforce Extension Version in VS Code:

v52.9.0

SFDX CLI Version:

sfdx-cli/7.112.1 darwin-x64 node-v14.17.4

OS and version:

MacOS Cataline 10.16.6
