Body

I have a project in which I created 123 issues to develop and manage my repository. A month later, the issues became archived, and I can't recover them. I follow the regular process (select the item, and then restore), but when I select the item to recover, it just loops, and nothing happens. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this or any guidance on how to make it work?

Thanks in advance!

I think it is possible try these ways may one of them will work
Check Permissions: Ensure you have admin or repository owner rights, as restoring archived issues may require elevated permissions.
Browser/Cache Issue: Try clearing your browser cache or using another browser; sometimes the restore loop is caused by browser-side problems.
GitHub API Restore: You can restore issues via the GitHub REST API using a script to programmatically unarchive them:

Endpoint: PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}

Set "state": "open" if needed.
