Hey!

I want to migrate from Appwrite Cloud to a self hosted instance and it's a really frustrating journey for now.

Exporting itself does not work, so I did what @Steven recommended in one GitHub issue and imported from cloud to self hosted instance.

When I do this, then I get following error.

But: fra.cloud.appwrite.io is reachable. When I put in a wrong project id then i get the error 'invalid project' immediately. However, when the project id and the secret are correct, I get this weird timeout.

TL;DR
Developers are experiencing gateway timeout issues when trying to migrate from Appwrite Cloud to a self-hosted instance. The error occurs even though the cloud instance is reachable. Users suggested checking the project id and secret to ensure they are correct.
