Can't use completion on bash/zsh with yay, but I can use it with pacman

As title says, I can’t use tab completion neither with bash or zsh.
I tried what this post says with no luck.
I checked and the packages are installed:

>pacman -Qs | grep compl
local/bash-completion 2.11-3
    Programmable completion for the bash shell
    A complete, highly portable implementation of the DNS protocol
local/kcompletion 6.1.0-1 (kf6)
    Text completion helpers and widgets
    A complex camera support library for Linux, Android, and ChromeOS
    A complex camera support library for Linux, Android, and ChromeOS - signed IPA

What does pacman -Ql yay | grep compl return?

yay /usr/share/bash-completion/
yay /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/
yay /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/yay
yay /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/
yay /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/yay.fish

How are you trying to use completions with yay? Can you give us an example?

for suggesting packages from aur:
for example yay -S vs
should list vscode etc…

EDIT: seems like re-running yay -Sc and simply logging out and login fixed it.
(obviously I did it last time I tried, I don’t know what changed)
