Hi…  
Long time user of Free plan.  
Recently have lost all config and history information for most of my Projects.  
The Web UI invites me to re-configure the project. Following the prompts results in a loop, never completing the UI.  
A hint, maybe: The UI seems stuck on “We’re fetching your builds”.  
Any ideas?  
Thanks

Odd, is the name of the organization the same as before? When was the last time there was build activity for that org/project?

Solved.  
Turns out that the problem probably originates from the 90 day data retention policy for free accounts. All the projects “missing” had not been touched or built within the last 90 days.  
Solution: Make a push to the linked github project, and a fresh build starts as expected.  
I suppose the CCI UI needs a touchup to better communicate the situation to the user.  
Thanks  
Dave
