A few of my projects were affected and have no backups/newer versions made on other platforms available to me; the following are links to all of said projects I care enough for to ask to replace that I've found so far. (subject to change):

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1259225446 - Already posted back on Page 9, but re-posting here for consistency i guess
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1229976926 - Stat sheets for characters in an ongoing collaboration series. Several costumes in the first, most important sprite have suffered data loss.
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1255234543/ - Unfinished animation that I believe I haven't backed up; many assets have suffered data loss.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/866887651/ I guess I'll wait for the automated service to fix CatBoy Adventure. There are a lot of costumes and stuff, lol.
Then again I honestly wouldn't mind if it was reverted back to the most recent uncorrupted save. I can easily redo the missing stuff from there.

I've been having this same issue. Most of my sprites are just question marks.

Okay, I reverted it back to the state it was in around May 1st, and restored the missing assets.

We have been working on recovering a randomish group of assets in projects that were incorrectly marked for deletion two weeks ago.

The assets should return and if you want, you can post your project ID's here to have me speed up the process for your particular project.

I went rummaging through some of your projects and fixed any that I came across, but not sure I got all of them.

Wait, has this only affected vector sprites? None of my many bitmap sprites were affected

I thought it was because the projects in question were too big and Scratch couldn't load the project properly.

But no, it somehow happened to my project that I spent at most 30 minutes on with 6 sprites and less than a minute of content. Specifically the end screen that I always put at the end of my projects.
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1252942443/
The weird thing is that it affects the end screen costume that DOESN'T have the extra text at the center, so it seems to happen at random.

The massive automated job we have running fixing this is steadily making progress and some folks may have already noticed sprite costumes/sound files reappearing already. However, again, I can specifically help out with particular project if the IDs are supplied. Otherwise, it becomes a hunt that I am unable to do because some folks have thousands of projects…
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1248016499/ - There are multiple costumes in this project that have been question marked, and two costumes have been replaced by a placeholder that I put in. If you can replace the question marks and the placeholder costumes back to normal, that will be great

Yeah they can but they usually don't check it I think unless it is illegal I think.
