Artboards with the same number / missing number
In the artboards menu, two have the same number, and so one cannot access or export one of those two artboards (see the attached photo, with two artboards labeled "9")

Nope, it is the known old bug. First, try to update your Ai, it is more stable in recent version (for this case I mean). Second, as a cure method, try to close-reopen Ai, it usually helps me.
And there are major reports about this, please vote all you related can find:

Artboard #3 has been consistently showing as with a 4 by it. Is this just a glitch on my system?

Hi there, I am facing the same issue. I have a file consisting of 64 artboards...but it duplicateds certain artbords and others dissapears. for example
"35, 36, 38, 38, 40, 40, 40.."
when i try to delete a "duplicate " artboard it just moves the double numbers up. This means, that when exporting, it pics up the two 38's as one, so only exports 1 image"
and i have no clue how to fix this....

In version 24.3 there is an issue with duplicate artboard numbers when creating a copy of an existing artboard (ie: it will skip from 3 to 5, and repeat 5 twice) and on export will only export one of the duplicate artboards. So, I had a file with 8 artboards, but two of the numbers were being doubled when I created them as copies so it only exported 6 of the 8. I wasn't able to find a work-around to export these duplicated artboards so I ended up downgrading to V 24.2.3 and it fixed the issue.

Same, artboard numbers are 1 2 4 5 5 7 7 8 10 10 and after 10 the numbering returns to normal. Creating a new file doesn't help, same issue occurs.

Just noticed that Illustrator CC artboard serial number 52 is replaced with 53. It's confused me to do some amendments on 53, instead I did on 52. Adobe, please correct it.

Illustrator has a bug in artboards. When I create the 18th artboard, the program jumps and creates an artboard with the number 19. And when I create the 19th artboard the program displays two 19 artboards.

When creating artboards, doesn't matter if they are within a new file or existing, Illustrator skips 3, has two 5s, skips 7, has two 8s. Still happens when deleting/adding in the same file, or creating a new file.

While this issue is fixable through restarting a clearing preferences, it caused a great deal of trouble for me and is really frustrating. I had boards 9 and 12 duplicating, even when creating a new layout from scratch. When trying to export screens for a presentation it deleted (or overwrote, no way to tell) the duplicates, leaving with a project missing two slides. Very glitchy, very bad.
