I have trouble like #32 these two days. I use the latest version which has fixed #32, but the trouble happened recently. Any one can help me?

Getting the same error message. It seems like the zip file isn't valid / incomplete. Maybe Notion changed something on their end?
Any help would be really appreciated!

I'm now getting this issue too, starting a few days ago. Anyone make any progress?

Got this since a few days in daily run too ...
Any suggestions?

I am getting this error too. Even when I manually try to export all content, it gets stuck.

also tried this tool and ran into the same error, might be reladted to this error of another "notion backup project" (which I was using up till now)

It also mathes from the "issue create date":

• This issue was created 28. Aug 2024
• The issue in the other "notion backup project" got created 27. Aug 2024

So I suspect it to be the same thing on the notion backend..

PR #44 should fix this issue, see my notes there on some caveats.

I have also encountered the same problem since 2025.1.10
