Ignoring for now that the width and height are clearly wrong, I cannot repro this:

You should try checking for update in your LaTeX dependencies as it seems you are using system installed LaTeX and 2023 version.

TeX Live is now 2024 and there can be some important update.

I cannot reproduce either on Windows.

Check your chrome version also in case this is an old version having difficulties to produce the pdf file. Though error happens at the LaTeX stage 🤔

Anyhow, you could activate verbose mode and see if there is more information useful in logging
