How is it supposed to switch accounts in new labnex versions if current selected instance is not responding?

I have found that if gitlab instance that currently selcted account belongs to is unavailable (not responding) under any circumstances, there is no way to switch to another account until it will fail with timeout after 5 minutes or so (I didn't count, actually, but it takes too long for me).
Only after timeout there appears some semi-broken interface that finally contains "settings" button, where one can select another account...

Is it supposed to be like that?
Isn't there any better (and faster) way to switch accounts in such circumstances?

The current timeout time for any API response is 1 minute. This is a middle ground for servers which could be slow. I feel this is the desired behavior of waiting as we could not possible determine if the timeout is permanent or temporary. Showing some dialog to users in this case to switch accounts will be annoying because it will be getting in your way all the time. That's not really desired.

One thing I think of can be improved is move or provide the account switcher on the main screen or menu. That way, one can easily switch the account without the wait.
