Flagging another potential issue on <http://cloud.typesense.org|cloud.typesense.org>: I have collection names which have period in their name, e.g. client_a.2022-02-14. When i try to delete them using the UI, I frequently get Error: Request failed with HTTP code 404 | Server said: No collection with name 'client_a' found. and the delete is not performed (no issues deleting via the JS client).

We did add support for encoding special characters like space with url encoded string, but I will check why that wouldn't work with dots.

The API itself works fine, so this is likely a cloud UI encoding issue. Thanks for reporting this, we will address it.

Peter We've pushed out a fix for this issue. This was indeed a Typesense Cloud admin-UI-only issue.
