How do I specify ap-northeast-1 as the region to authenticate in CodeWhisperer reconnections?

Question

We have a fee-based contract for the use of Amazon CodeWhisperer on AWS.
We use AWS IAM Identify Center (formerly AWS SSO) for user authentication in AWS.
The AWS IAM Identify Center we use is located in the Tokyo@Japan (ap-northeast-1) region.

The above configuration is possible in AWS Toolkit For JetBrains 1.67-231 and works fine the first time.
We can actually see CodeWhisperer in action.

However, the situation is different if you need to reconnect, e.g. because your session is to expire.
Oh dear, when reconnecting from the Toolkit, it always tries to connect to the AWS IAM Identify Centre by specifying us-east-1.

Even if 'ap-northeast-1' is set for 'sso_region' in the ~/.aws/config file, AWS Toolkit will not follow it and only go to 'us-east-1' for connections.
Whenever the IDE opens a browser, it is forced to access 'https://device.sso.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/'.
In this case, it has to follow the 'sso_region' to access 'https://device.sso.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/'.
(Only the first time you set up a connection from the AWS Toolkit, you can access any Region.)

Therefore, we have to delete all previous connection information each time we reconnect, open Add New Connection from scratch again, select (Connect using AWS IAM Identify Center) and reconfigure the 'Start URL' and 'Region'.

We are currently forced to do this task at least once a day.
This is too painful and we would like to know what to do about it.
If this can be resolved by changing the settings, could you please let us know how to do this?

I have the same issue.
