Blob Trigger in Azure Function skips all subsequent blobs after first run, even with different names/paths/ETags
I have an Azure Function App running in Azure that uses:
Blob Trigger → to detect image uploads
Queue Trigger → to process those images after enqueueing from the Blob Trigger
Both triggers are in the same Function App, using the same storage account for both blob data and the azure-webjobs-hosts
checkpoint store.
Expected behavior: Every time I upload an image (even with a unique name, path, and ETag), the Blob Trigger should fire and enqueue a message.
Actual behavior:
First uploaded blob is processed fine.
Every blob after that (even though completely different) is skipped by the Blob Trigger.
- Logs show:
Blob '...' will be skipped for function 'BlobTriggerFunction' because this blob with ETag '...' has already been processed. Source: 'ContainerScan'.
This happens even when:
Blob names are unique
Full paths are different (I create nested folders each time)
ETags are different
- Content is different
- **What I have already tried:**
- Restarted the Function App
- Deleted all old files from `azure-webjobs-hosts/blobreceipts` in the linked storage account
- Changed file names to guaranteed unique values before upload
- Verified in logs that path, ETag, and other metadata are different for each upload
Despite this, after the first run, every upload is marked as already processed and skipped.
**Additional info:**
This only happens in Azure — locally (using Azurite) the Blob Trigger fires for every upload as expected.
Container structure: multiple nested folders for each upload.
