Missing issues and discussions after Zen org flagged by GitHub

[0Ky]

@mr-cheffy After the zen-browser org was flagged by GitHub yesterday, which caused the entire org's visibility to change from public to private, I've noticed that most of the issues and discussions (about 40 pages worth) now aren't indexed. They're still accessible via direct URLs or hyperlinks, but they no longer appear in search results and cannot find them in the issues or discussions page.

Issues:
#7441, #7539, etc.

Discussions:
#830, #888, etc.

When searching through the issues or discussions, it shows "no results". Also, when attempting to reference these issues or discussions, they don't appear in the mention suggestion list (referring to when you type #).

Do we know what exactly caused the entire org to be flagged by GitHub in the first place? It appears you've somehow violated the Acceptable Use Policies or Community Guidelines. I'm guessing it's most likely from the excessive automated bulk activity through Actions or when the 5k~ opened issues were all closed instantly by a bot? I've also noticed some discussions (#294, #1107, #3933 etc.) recently unmarked an answer by a deleted @ghost user/bot around the time it was flagged, was this the trigger?

Edit 1

This is now going to lead to mass duplicates of issues, since many issues and discussions can't be found through search.

Edit 2

This issue is now fixed.

I think the issues will just take a bit of time to be fully recovered. Happened the same with previous releases.

The flag was due to GitHub actions, building zen is resource intensive, maybe they thought we were mining bitcoin or something, not sure

Interesting, I'm surprised the reason wasn't communicated, even after a follow-up?

Edit: Oops, I've misread.

It's been almost 1 week and none of the disappeared issues/discussions have been indexed (recovered) yet.

I've just reacted to one of my comments from issue #7441 and immediately un-reacted. This made the issue searchable again, it must be GitHub re-indexing the issue due to the interaction.

The big question now is whether all the issues and discussions will be recovered (indexed) over time. If not, will using a bot to interact with those issues and discussions flag the org again?

@mr-cheffy I contacted GitHub and they began reindexing across the organization 3 hours ago. I think it should all be reindexed by now.
