Same here.

Possible, temporary, workaround is to modify composer.json:

"conflict": {
    "php-http/discovery": "1.15.0"
},

I just disabled the plugin:

"allow-plugins": {
    "php-http/discovery": false
}

I just disabled the plugin:

"allow-plugins": {
    "php-http/discovery": false
}

that was my solution for now too

if you use Docker container or need to enable it, that's working with previous version [1.14.3]
