Like I already recommended in the post above, that this seems worth escalating to **Support** with the vector store IDs, file IDs, timestamps, API responses and screenshots.\n\nMaybe @OpenAI_Support can also take a look here, but they would likely still ask everyone affected to open a Support ticket so they can investigate the account/project-specific details properly.\n\nI also came to think of a separate issue that still could maybe be connected. There have also been separate reports of PDF/DOCX files failing during vector store processing/upload, which I could reproduce on my side with a PDF. I don’t know if that is connected to this deletion/removal issue, but both seem to involve vector store file processing/state.\n\nVector store file uploads instantly failing with generic server_error since last night (docx, pdf) Bugs\n\n> Is anyone else seeing vector store uploads fail since last night? Files are instantly marked as failed with the same generic error: \"status\": \"failed\", \"last_error\": { \"code\": \"server_error\", \"message\": \"An internal error occurred.\" } It looks file-type specific: Markdown and HTML uploads work fine, but every .docx and .pdf I try fails immediately, both through the dashboard and the API.
