This is a known issue related to the CI object expiration CircleCI did. I am not sure yet how to solve it properly. Maybe we should update to some storage (which one?) as part of the CI. I need to check if artifacts on GHA expire the same way.

That is about CircleCI:

By default, artifact storage duration is set to 30 days. This can be customized on the CircleCI web app by navigating to Plan Usage Controls. Currently, 30 days is also the maximum storage duration you can set.

GHA seems to be a bit more friendly in that manner:

By default, the artifacts and log files generated by workflows are retained for 90 days before they are automatically deleted. You can adjust the retention period, depending on the type of repository: For public repositories: you can change this retention period to anywhere between 1 day or 90 days.

But still will be the same issue if there were no commits within 90days

As a workaround, we can try scheduled runs every week. That would at least make the latest build always available.

[Alex Samorukov]

Done. Configured to be run on every Monday, 2:00 UTC. I will close the ticket once it will succeed.

scheduled build works as expected, closing ticket
