Problem with switching between accounts #4292

Hi,
I have a problem with netbird account switching. I use netbird in my company with my coworkers, and it's our own private network with rules, hosts and etc. My customers uses netbird the same way, because we promote your service to use with ERPs, NASes and other equipment. Now, they are providing me another accounts in their netbird networks to service their servers. How to switch to them? I use my business netbird account every day, but I have to reinstall the netbird client every time I want to switch? I looked into other issues and found a temporary solution to create new netbird service, stop default one and start new one.

sudo netbird service run --service my-name --config /etc/netbird/my-name.json

It works, but it causes errors frequently like this:
(MacOS Sonoma)

"launchctl" failed with stderr: Load failed: 5: Input/output error
Try running `launchctl bootstrap` as root for richer errors.

Error: "launchctl" failed with stderr: Load failed: 5: Input/output error

I know it's related to other netbird processes in background or some temporary files, but I don't want to search for them in system monitor every time my MacBook returns from sleep or restart the system. I can gather customers onto my own self-hosted netbird server, but I don't want to run another vps for that reason and I don't want to make some of them dependent on me. Paying for them is too much and they won't pay me back, because they are using the free plan in most scenarios. Do you have any solutions or advices to help me handle this situation? And yes, it's a duplicate of many issues in this repo, but I haven't found any working solution yet.
