"Failed to de-alias project." error when listing gcp secrets with gcloud

Question

I have the following error when I do the command gcloud secrets list:

ERROR: (gcloud.secrets.list) HttpError accessing

  "error": {
    "code": 500,
    "message": "Failed to de-alias project.",

  }
}

I do not find any info on this Failed to de-alias project error. Can you please help me?

Google Secret Manager is currently experiencing an outage. See their status page here: https://status.cloud.google.com

This error does not come from your side and is happening for all (or most) GCP projects. It will be resolved automatically as soon as this issue is addressed by Google's teams.
