We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

For the error: System.IO.IOException: Access to the path 'session_files' is denied.

This error most commonly ocurs when a Workbench project is being worked on while on a OneDrive location.
OneDrive sets the read-only attribute on the session_files folder, thus Workbench can no longer manipulate the folder. 
Copying a Project or archive to OneDrive for storage seems to work OK.

But I think you have two different issues here. 
In your case, it appears as if Discovery has crashed for some reason. 
Q: Does Discovery work reliably on your computer with other geometry?
