[CLOSED] Retrieve collection from archived project

Hey there, so I archivef a project on 1st September 2025 and now I need the data from one of its collections. Any way I can retrieve it?

is there a way to:

1. archive a currently active project
2. unarchive this one
3. get the data I need
4. archive this one back
5. unarchive the active project

Cc @Steven

isn't it read only? What issue are you having accessing it?

1. It doesnt appear in project list in the console
2. If i go to the project details through the url (like console.appwrite.io/console/project-projectname) it works, but then i go to databases tab and if i remember correctly it gives 405: this project is archived

I just came home ill give the screenshot in a bit

<@462046107556511744> tried appwrite CLI too, didn't work either:

appwrite pull

(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
? Which resources would you like to pull? Collections (Databases)
ℹ Info: Fetching collections ...

Can you look at the network logs and see what request resulted in this error?
