Can't transfer project

Hello,

I can't transfer a project to another workspace. I get the message "Buckets can't be transferred."

I deleted the bucket and tried to transfer the project again, but I still get the same message even though the bucket is now deleted.

Project ID : e6ba29ca-23a5-422c-aacf-831d1273d118

The deleted bucket is still inside its delayed-deletion window, which is why the transfer dialog still sees it. Bucket deletions take roughly two days to finalize, and yours is scheduled to be permanently removed around 2026-08-29 06:13 UTC. Once that deadline passes, the bucket will be fully gone and the project transfer should unblock.

So I have to wait 2 days? That's a long time for a simple action. Can't we force the permanent deletion of the bucket plz?

The bucket deletion window is a safety measure against accidental data loss and cannot be expedited. The transfer will unblock once the window elapses around 2026-08-29.

But the bucket is the only thing that can't be transferred, and it blocks the entire transfer process. The system could at least allow the other services to be transferred and skip the bucket, since it can't be transferred anyway...

That's a fair point. Currently the transfer requires no buckets in the project, and the deletion window cannot be shortened, so the transfer will unblock once it clears around 2026-08-29. If you'd like to suggest allowing transfers to skip buckets, you can post that as a feature request on our roadmap so other users can upvote it.
