QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello,
When I try to open Code window of my backtests I get the following error:
“The requested project does not exist or you do not have the necessary permissions to access it - 28174041”
All other windows (Overview, Logs) work fine.
Is it something known any ideas how to fix or when it will be fixed?

Did you clone the project? 😊
If yes, this error in QuantConnect is actually a known platform glitch that me and other users have run into as well. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been fully resolved yet on their side.
It would be great if you could raise another support ticket so the team is aware it’s still happening. The more visibility they have, the faster it usually gets attention. 🚀
In the meantime, you can try the workaround I suggested — that has helped me in some cases.
Recreate the Project is my most favorable one.
Happy quant trading and greetings from Munich

What You Can Try (Workarounds)
Refresh / Hard Reload the Browser
Sometimes a stale cache or session causes the IDE not to fetch the right data — refresh with a hard reload (Ctrl + F5).
Clear Browser Cache + Cookies
Several UI issues on QC have been fixed by doing this (not specific to this error, but a good first step).
Try a Different Browser or Incognito Mode
Helps rule out extension/browser storage interference.
Open the Same Backtest Using Backtest Results Panel
Sometimes reopening the backtest from the Backtest Results tab instead of the notification banner loads correctly.
Duplicate or Recreate the Project
In some reported cases, recreating the project or copying the code to a new project and re-running backtest sidestepped the error entirely

Thanks! Looks like it works better now - at least I didn't experience the issue last days
