Description

I just tried to re-run a job that was executed 2 weeks ago. We have set ARTIFACT_RETENTION_DAYS = 7 in the actions section.

The build job actually says that artifact upload is succesful. But the next job, that tries to fetch the artifact fails:

Total number of files that will be downloaded: 540
A 500 response code has been received while attempting to download an artifact
Exponential backoff for retry #1. Waiting for 5[4](https://HIDDEN/actions/runs/860/jobs/1#jobstep-1-4)75 milliseconds before continuing the download
A 500 response code has been received while attempting to download an artifact
Exponential backoff for retry #1. Waiting for [5](https://HIDDEN/actions/runs/860/jobs/1#jobstep-1-5)482 milliseconds before continuing the download

I also tried downloading the artifact manually and get the error:

artifact not found

I also tried to delete the artifact manually in the web interface. This also returns a 200 code for the DELETE request. However the artifact does not disappear.

Here a part of the response from the artifacts GET request after the deletion attempt:

{
    "artifacts": [
        {
            "name": "Bin.Unprotected",
            "size": 80032963,
            "status": "expired"
        }
    ]
}

We should improve the CreateArtifact function to support updating uploaded artifacts when re-running a job.
