I don’t really understand what happens, but missing photos have been brought up in other topics, such as https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/broken-photo-link-observations-are-still-needs-id/5550 and https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/many-older-observations-without-photos-when-clearly-there-used-to-be/5900. Maybe they will help.
