  Check for Deletions: Confirm whether the resource has been deleted or is inactive. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if possible.
  Review Configuration: If you are using a REST API, check the configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly. This includes checking the service definitions and ensuring that the necessary services are activated.
