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
Issue: Clicking "Restore project" button in dashboard fails with "Invalid status transition" error due to inactivity on the project. Solution: The PATCH request sent with payload `{status: "active"}` is returning the error. This seems to be a backend bug. It is observed that one project restored successfully while the other did not. The restore button is not working as expected.
