Locked out of Data Store Manager ("You need permission") with HTTP 412 & 504 errors after mass deleting DataStores

I am currently experiencing an issue where I am completely locked out of the Data Store Manager page on the Creator Dashboard for a specific experience. After deleting a large amount of DataStores within the game, the dashboard now displays a “You need permission to access this content” error lock screen. I am the Group Owner, Game Owner, and hold all required permissions. This issue seems entirely isolated to this specific universe. Other games under different group load their Data Store Managers perfectly fine.

When navigating to the Data Store Manager on the Creator Dashboard, the UI blocks access, claiming I lack permissions. When inspecting the browser’s Network tab, the page is failing to fetch the data stores. The API requests to https://apis.roblox.com/cloud/v2/universes/universe_id/data-stores?maxPageSize=10 are failing with specific backend errors: 412 Precondition Failed and 504 Gateway Timeout. It appears the backend is either timing out or failing a precondition check when trying to query the remaining DataStores (potentially due to the large volume of recent deletions), which the front-end dashboard then incorrectly interprets as a permissions issue.

Expected behavior

Data Store Manager should load normally, or at least display an accurate error message if the query is timing out, rather than revoking page access via a false permissions error.
