@pirate commented on GitHub (May 18, 2021):

Yeah this is a known shortcoming of how the stopgap hacky re-snapshotting feature is implemented currently. There is no fix, you just have to wait for real multi-snapshot support to be implemented.

Please subscribe to this issue for updates: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/179

Closing this for now because it's a subset of what we're tracking in the other issue and it's easier for everyone to follow one issue about this.
