Current Behavior

Even though I have an active LocalStack Student License (confirmed in my account dashboard and the CLI), the Cloud Pods feature is not working.

When I attempt to save or load a Cloud Pod (via both the web UI and CLI), LocalStack returns a 404 Not Found error.

In the Web UI
Path: State → Export/Import State → Cloud
Action: Click Create New Pod
→ Error popup appears at the top:

⚠️ Request failed with status code 404
❌ Error saving pod

In the backend logs:

WARN Unable to find resource handler for path: /_localstack/pods/test
INFO POST /_localstack/pods/test => 404

The UI and CLI both fail to create or list any pods.
Other Pro features (e.g., IAM, S3, CloudWatch) work fine, confirming the license is valid and LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN is correctly configured.
It appears that the / _localstack/pods/* endpoints are either not registered or disabled, even though the Student plan should include 500 MB Cloud Pod storage according to the official documentation.
