In the dashboard, it clicking "Restore project" fails. The request sent to PATCH https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/projects/:project_id with payload {status: "active"} is returning "Invalid status transition."

TypeScript
{message: "Invalid status transition.", code: 400, type: "general_bad_request", version: "1.9.5"}

Seems like you may have a backend bug. I had 2 paused projects and I restored both, 1 seemed to be successful, the other was not. The restore button doesn't work. I've seen it work fine on this project in the past.

TL;DR
"Restore project" button fails due to invalid status transition issue, caused by cross-region cache problem. The team is aware and working on a fix. The user confirmed project restoration. Issue marked as solved.

<@862158675409764423> Its a cross region cache issue we are looking into. You are getting project paused even after it's restored hence invalid status transition. See if it's resolved. We are looking into the issue and will fix soon so this doesn't happen again.
