Conda failing on MacOS (Sonoma 14.2) - M1 silicon Mac CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED

conda was running fine on Sonoma 14.1.1
but with the update to Sonoma 14.2, it fails with the same error message on any command let alone creating new envs.
I have tried uninstalling conda and reinstalling it many times
Also tried,

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url https://conda.anaconda.org-conda-forge/osx-arm64/osx-arm64/current_repodata.json

Tried a few other solutions from the web, but sadly nothing worked :frowning:

Same Problem here. :frowning:
I am now on 14.2.1 and was hoping that this would solve my problem. Unfortunately that was not the case.

With the install option “install for me only” it works for me under 14.2.1 …
