Missed automatic migration of PostgreSQL Database from Single Server and now it is disabled

I didn’t act in time to manually trigger the migration - a mistake. The automatic migration from Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Single Server to Flexible Server did not happen as expected. I also missed the window to manually migrate it.

Now the server shows as "Disabled" and I can not access the data or trigger any migration. Recovery, access, and migration attempts have i tried and all failed.

Is there any way to temporarily restore access or recover the data?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

    The reactivation helped. I was able to create a dump of the current database and migrate it to a new server. Everything is working again now. The automatic migration wasn't possible due to the TimescaleDB service, but that wasn't a problem — the standard dump worked fine.

    Thanks!
