How can I get a backup/export of my data from a suspended Atlassian Cloud Free site?

Hi everyone,

My Atlassian Cloud Free site has been suspended yesterday. When I try to access it I get a message

Your Atlassian Cloud products are suspended

Your subscription for Atlassian Cloud hasn't been renewed.
If you're a site admin, go to admin.atlassian.com
View site bill to update your payment details

The site was still active when this happened, so this came as a surprise. I can still log into my Atlassian account and admin.atlassian.com, but I can no longer open the actual site or use the normal Backup Manager / export options. Neither was able to find this free subscription to enable or active billing to get my site back.

I urgently need to recover a backup of my data especially Confluence before anything is permanently deleted.

I tried reaching out through support email, with no luck, as atlassian is no more monitoring them.

Raising a support ticket has become impossible too without providing a valid active site.

Has anyone been in this situation with a Free Cloud site?

  • Is there any way to generate or download a site backup while the site is suspended?
  • How do i contact Atlassian Support to temporarily re-enable the site just long enough to export the data?
  • Is there another way raise a support request for this (which category / form)?
  • How long is the data usually retained after suspension on the Free plan?

Any advice, recent experiences, or links to the right support path would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Teja

Hello @teja 

Was this suspended because of inactivity, or because a paid/trial subscription was not renewed?

You should be able still open ticket through this Form.

https://www.atlassian.com/company/contact/purchasing-licensing#/ 

There is also a very useful Community article from @Trudy P Claspill  about Free-tier inactivity/deactivation timelines. Based on that experience, Free Jira/JSM/Confluence deactivation can happen quickly after inactivity, and the restoration window may be short, so I’d treat this as urgent.

I also flagged this post, because so far I see time is ticking.

Best,

Arek 🤠
