Recommended action: Check which workspace the key resolves to (anthropic-workspace-id response header), check expires_at on the file metadata, and re-upload if expired. Option: Verify workspace and expiration [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Apps with multiple workspaces/keys or expiring uploads Steps: 1. Read anthropic-workspace-id on responses to confirm the workspace 2. GET /v1/files/{id} and compare expires_at to now 3. Re-upload with the correct key or longer/no expiration Expected: file_id resolves and Messages request succeeds. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
