Maestral GUI stops responding, and the deamon will not respond to the CLI #953

Describe the bug

This is an intermittent but persistent issue I have been experiencing a lot. It most often happens after a system restart. I am running MacOS.

When it happens, the gui stops responding and shows a beachball. If the status is requested on the command line, the cli app hangs waiting for it. Force quitting the app and daemon and starting again results in the same behavior after a few seconds. During the few seconds the gui and the cli do work.

It seems that it is probably the daemon that is refusing to respond, and the gui is hanging because it is waiting for it, but I can't be certain.

The only way to fix it and get syncing back I have found is to nuke the Application Support/maestral and re-link. This is obviously a pain to have to do and it is averaging every couple of days.

To Reproduce

As it is intermittent, one simply has to wait for it to happen. Restarting does seem to make it happen more often.

Any thoughts or suggestions of things to try to fix this? It's happened twice to me just today, I might be forced to go back to the official app which would really suck :(
