The short answer

Cloudflare's changelog of October 23, 2026 says the D1 undelete API only accepts requests for databases that were deleted within the last 7 days. Requests to undelete a database that was deleted more than 7 days ago will fail. If you delete a D1 database by mistake, send the undelete request as soon as possible, and no later than 7 days after deletion.

What to do

  1. Act fast: send the undelete request as soon as possible, and no later than 7 days after deletion.
  2. Undelete is an API request. Cloudflare's undelete D1 database API reference has the details, and your AI tool can help you send it.
  3. Ask your AI tool: "My Cloudflare D1 database was deleted by mistake. Show me, step by step, how to restore it with the D1 undelete API, and check we're still within 7 days."

Good to know

  • Our tip: don't rely on undelete alone. Export your important data regularly, keep a copy somewhere else, and check that it restores.
