**TL;DR:** A restore is not done when Atlas says it is. Verify data, indexes, and app behavior on the restored cluster before cutover. Verify a restore Symptom: you restored from a snapshot or point-in-time and need to trust it. Confirm 1. data URIs - compare document counts on key collections against the source (or the pre-incident counts).

## The error

```text

## The fix

1. data URIs - compare document counts on key collections against the source (or the pre-incident counts). Spot-check recent documents around the restore timestamp; for point-in-time restores, confirm the cutoff is where you expected (oplog window limits how far back you can go).

2. Indexes: list indexes on the restored cluster and diff against the source. Restores should carry indexes, but verify rather than assume.

3. App: point a staging backend at the restored cluster and run the read smoke tests plus one write path.

## When to use this

- You are seeing this exact error message; match the block above, not just part of it.
- The failing call matches the scenario in the title: Atlas.
- You want the fastest verified fix before digging through logs.

## When not to use this

- Your error text differs from the block above; close cousins often have different causes.
- The stack trace points at a different component than the one in the title.
- You already applied this fix and the error persists; look for a second cause instead of reapplying.

## Compatibility

- Not pinned to a specific version; follows current Atlas behavior.
