Supabase project vanished but was not deleted by any user
As of today, a project on my supabase account disappeared from my dashboard, and this was not deleted by me nor my work partner. it simply vanished. and projects that I had deleted earlier were now resurfacing on his dashboard whereas the mcp client says there is only one project on his organization, and the one I speak of has been removed. The affected database is currently linked to a project i submitted for a competition where no alternate changes can be made, this error I just faced can result to my immediate disqualification. please what is going on, and this is urgent

could you try a difference browser/device to see it is a browser state issue
if that doesn't work then you will have to file a support ticket as this is an infra issue
but i wrote an email to them before even coming here
just did, it wasn't there
Supabase never deletes any project on its own. Do you use any AI? Maybe AI ran some query
nope, no AI was used during that moment, and i don't think it has the power to delete a whole project at most, just drop all the tables
can you access this project via rest api?
i haven't tried
Try it. Maybe its just a dashboard issue
but I used the supabase mcp client to check on the project, and the project status showed "REMOVED" and the ai couldn't access its tables or anything else
I don't use mcp so don't know anything about that
I see, you can liken it to using rest api, but with more control (i might be wrong lol)
so when i tried to make a call to the project, it said project is no longer in my organization and it has been removed
but before you can even delete a supabase project, you have to reconfirm by typing the name and probably the password if i'm not mistaken
and none of us did that
There is an api call which can be made to delete a project https://supabase.com/docs/reference/api/v1-delete-a-project
It uses SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN for authorization
but none of that was made here
i only used the mcp after i noticed it was missing from my dashboard
Try making a simple http request to your project's endpoint
If you get status 400, then your project is still there
nope
it's gone alright lmao
could not resolve host
but i got that status for another project
just went through the mcp tools there's no delete tool, so the bot can't call the delete endpoint in anyway
hm. I'd suggest that you ask other users who had access to the project if they accidentally deleted it. Or used some AI which could have done this. Because supabase never deletes projects on its own. On free tier, project is paused after 7 days of no activity and even then you get a 90 days period to unpause and db backups available even after that
thank you i will
is there a way to escalate this issue
Are you pro?
not at all
you'll have to wait for the support team to reach out to you
In your app, did you use your own domain in
createClient call or supabase.co domain?supabase.co
There is also an audit log in your account settings area that I think logs for project type changes.
