Initial report in 8401121-zd-a8c
Adding my report for the second site: 8401106-zd-a8c Discussed on Slack: p1719518907527589-slack-C03TY6J1A
I checked the two pages affected and images load fine in Calypso... I am going to close this as cannot repro (a temporary shortage), but please feel free to re-open if needed.
@mrfoxtalbot I checked again today, and had a teammate who hasn't viewed either site check as well to rule out any caching on my end, and we're both still able to replicate the issue. Details shared at p1719580196051499/1719518907.527589-slack-C03TY6J1A.
Re-opening the issue.

looking at the media library, there’s a lot of images in the media library, nearly 8,000 items, and there’s a few in there which is in the MB in size. Which may have an impact. in WP Admin, everything loads fine.
I was able to reproduce this but on simple sites. Escalated internally on p1720011429811589-slack-C02FMH4G8
@jp-imagines @aleone89 @hacchism @jamiepalatnik just a heads-up that media library images are not displayed on Support Sessions #91764
just a heads-up that media library images are not displayed on Support Sessions
Isn't that only if the site is Private?
With other user reports I've seen, it didn't matter if the site was Private or not. The API was returning 403 or 404 responses in Calypso, but loads fine in wp-admin. Usually the media library loads perfectly fine in Calypso in a support session as long as the site isn't Private. Private sites display this notice:
This issue appears to be happening here: 8267946-zd-a8c
In two cases that I handled, both sites were having an identity crisis. Fixing that up made the images show up again.
There does not seem to be an identity crisis on the site from this user report: 8401106-zd-a8c
When I checked via SSP, the issue persists on the site.
Here's one on a private site with an Explorer plan. I made the video small to blur out the site address (sorry, I should get better tools for editing) but you can see the general idea.
I'll also attach a screenshot of the console errors.
The normal wp-admin media view was fine.

Thank you, @supernovia!
Here's one on a private site
Does the issue persist if the site is set to public or to coming soon?
Quick summary
On two sites so far, all images fail to load in the Calypso media library despite the sites being public (including after toggling site privacy to Coming Soon and/or Private and back again). Thumbnails do not load in the Calypso media grid and editing an image fails to load it as well. Direct image URLs and WP Admin are unaffected.
API requests for images are returning 403s.
Also, when refreshing the page on any Calypso page for affected sites, you are redirected to the site-agnostic variant of that page and/or the site picker (e.g. refreshing at
wordpress.com/media/SITE
leads towordpress.com/media
).Steps to reproduce
On affected sites:
wordpress.com/media/SITE
).What you expected to happen
Images and image thumbnails should load in Calypso. Refreshing the page in Calypso should not redirect to the site picker or site-agnostic view.
What actually happened
Images do not load, with 403 errors:
Refreshing in Calypso redirects.
Impact
Some (< 50%)
Available workarounds?
Yes, easy to implement
Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)
Atomic
Logs or notes
Unable to replicate on test sites yet, but two reports have come in back to back from different Atomic sites. Other sites on their accounts are unaffected, and one user noted this started recently.
Workaround for the media library is to use WP Admin/"classic" view instead.
