Correct answer Monika Gause

There is no reason behind this and it has been going on for years: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/39220252-artboards-with-the-same-number-missing-number

The team put out a tentative fix in 29.6:

Artboards with the same number / missing number – Adobe Illustrator

Update your software and comment there if you encounter this error again.

Hi guys, unfortunately, still happening. I've upgraded to version 29.6.1 – and this time, instead of the issue happening on a project with lots of artboards, I've got the issue with a project with only 8 artboards! In this case, the artboard number 8 is missing, and it skips to 9. This really needs to be fixed – makes it difficult to do artboard exports for assets etc. It always happens randomly when adding/removing/moving artboards.
