I recently lost access to my ServiceNow instance (https://dev266042.service-now.com) because it was not renewed on time while I was on vacation. Unfortunately, this instance contains some important developments and configurations that I need to showcase to a client as part of a business opportunity.
Could you kindly help me restore or reactivate the instance? It would be very helpful to recover the work already completed so I can present it to the customer.
Thank you very much for your support.

Once a PDI is taken back, it cannot be retrieved. This means there is no way to get or restore the PDI once you’ve lost it.

Hi @Andrea Cavallar,
once the PDI is released, all the data are forever lost...unless you did some backups or exports. If not, then the data is not longer existing...

Hi @Andrea Cavallar ,
Once you lost your PDI, it can't be restored. you can get a fresh one and going forward either keep it alive by logging once in every 10 days or take backup of your data.
Regards,
Nikhil Bajaj
