After letting my gitlab pages domain expire, I am struggling to get pages working again on *.gitlab.io

I tried deactivating in order to activate it again, but there is now no option for that.

Here is a screenshot of what I see…

The CI is still running and uploads to public as expected…

Here is an example download of what is visible in public

However, https://dnk8n.gitlab.io does not work. It shows a 404.

I also have same problem. how to re-enable pages? any answers?
