Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Clone the Clerk next starter repo
2. Update Next.js to 13.5.3
3. Run the app

Expected behavior:
No error is thrown

Actual behavior:
The following error is thrown on every page load

⨯ node_modules/@clerk/nextjs/dist/esm/server/getAuth.js (28:12) @ eval
⨯ Error: Clerk: auth() was called but it looks like you aren't using `authMiddleware` in your middleware file. Please use `authMiddleware` and make sure your middleware matcher is configured correctly and it matches this route or page. See https://clerk.com/docs/quickstarts/get-started-with-nextjs
    at stringify (<anonymous>)

The app still seems to function correctly, but this error is thrown on every request.

There is an open issue here, but there hasn't been any resolution. The issue here seems to be that their middleware.ts is configured incorrectly or in the wrong place. This is not the case with my issue.

Looks like the starter repo is behind on its clerk version, but this still happens even when updated to the newest build of @clerk/nextjs
npmPackages:
@clerk/nextjs: ^4.24.1 => 4.24.1

Clearing the cookies fixes the issue

@brycelund I'm running into this issue when I try to use next dev --turbo.

What do you mean by clearing the cookies fixes the issue? Like in the devtools?
