Hi @Anthony

Thank you for sharing the details — I completely understand your concern. From what you’ve described, this behavior is something we’ve seen before after a subscription is reactivated, and I’d like to walk you through what’s likely happening and how we can resolve it quickly.

What’s likely happening

When an Azure subscription goes into a disabled or read‑only state and is later reactivated, services such as Static Web Apps don’t always resume normal content serving immediately.

In some cases, the resource can remain in a stuck or suspended state behind the scenes, which results in the generic“404: Not Found” response — even though the subscription itself shows as active. This is a known behavior and has been observed in similar scenarios

Recommended steps to resolve

Please try the following steps in order:

1. Trigger a fresh deployment :
   Make a small change in your repository (for example, add a comment in index.html) and push the update. This will trigger a new build and deployment, which often refreshes the content delivery and resolves the issue.
2. Check deployment status In the Azure portal:
   • Go to your Static Web App > Deployments
   • Confirm the latest deployment completed successfully
   If there are any errors here, it usually indicates a build or configuration issue (which is easier to fix).
3. If the site still shows 404 If the deployment succeeds but the site still returns 404 after a few minutes, it may indicate the resource is still in a stale/suspended backend state. In that case, the recommended options are:
   • Option A: Delete and recreate the Static Web App and re-link it to your repository
   • Option B (Preferred): Raise a support request so the backend team can clear the suspension state
4. Optional) Validate SPA routing If you’re using frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue, please ensure your app has proper fallback routing configured (for example, using navigationFallback in staticwebapp.config.json). This is a common secondary cause of 404 for client-side routes
