Copilot File Downloads Expire Immediately – Error Across App, Browser, and Incognito
Hi, I’m running into a recurring issue when Copilot generates downloadable files. Every time I try to download the file (almost immediately), I get the following error message:
“File unavailable. Generated files expire after a short period. Please regenerate if needed.”
This happens consistently, even when I regenerate the file multiple times.
I’ve tested this in several places and the issue is the same everywhere:
- Copilot App
- Browser version
- Incognito / Private mode
The file appears for a moment, then instantly becomes unavailable. I’m unable to download anything before it expires.
Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I encountered the same. Any clue on this behavior?
