Has anyone had Replit recover lost code/backups? Agent has cost me ~2 months of work 🤯

I’m honestly at my wits’ end with Replit right now and hoping someone in the community has some advice.

I’ve spent around AU$14,000 with Replit overall building my production app, Advanced Planner Designer, and after repeated problems caused during Replit Agent work, I’m now missing approximately two months of development.

This wasn’t one Agent mistake. Agent caused serious problems with my source/files, I spent days recovering the app and eventually got it deploying successfully again, only for further Agent work to cause more problems and deployment to fail again.

The biggest disaster is Git.

For those two months, Replit showed my project as connected/synced to Git and I was committing my work, so I believed my recent code was protected.

When everything went wrong, I discovered it wasn’t actually synced like I thought it was.

The last usable Git commit was approximately two months old.

So after the newer source was lost, APD effectively regressed back to that old Git version, taking two months of features, fixes and paid development with it.

Major features I had already built are gone, including Photo-to-Colouring and background planner generation, along with loads of work completed after them. I’ve also lost thousands of templates during this whole recovery nightmare.

To make matters worse, Agent also disrupted/deleted the local “.git” state during the recovery problems, so I can’t simply rollback to the recent version I thought I had.

Replit Support has been absolutely shocking.

I first contacted Support 11 days ago!!

I’ve explained the seriousness of the situation and given them everything they need. I’ve been told my case has been “forwarded to the appropriate team”…

And I’m still waiting.

I haven’t heard from that team once.

No meaningful technical update. No indication whether they’re actually investigating. No answer about whether my missing code can be recovered. Nothing.

Considering this involves a production app, repeated Agent-caused problems and approximately two months of paid development disappearing, I honestly expected a hell of a lot better than being left waiting for for over 10 days in counting…

So I’m asking you guys instead :folded_hands:

Does anyone know if Replit keeps additional backups that we can’t access ourselves?

Old workspace backups? Previous versions? Deleted files? Agent history/checkpoints? Internal snapshots? Anything?

Has anyone ever had Replit successfully recover code when Git didn’t have the version you needed?

And does anyone have any other recovery suggestions I should try?

The newer code absolutely existed on Replit before this happened. I just need to find out whether there’s another copy of it somewhere.

If you’ve dealt with anything remotely similar, please tell me what worked for you.

At this point I’m feeling as if I’ll get useful ideas from other users than I ever will for Replit Support ATM. :sob:

I thought that Repit did Checkpoints which are internal spots you can roll back to. This should not happen with these available.

Replit does checkpoints. You have to restore back to a last known working checkpoint.
