Atm Im doing the gallente epic arc and had the following scenario:
Im sitting inside a slow ass battleship and acceleration gate is 45km away. So I activate an afterburner approach gate, tab out and do something different on the internet as it takes minutes to reach it.
After some time I remember that eve is running, tab in and Im at the gate so I press jump. But realize a split second later that Im out of cap because of the running afterburner, so I stop my ship with ctrl+space to wait for cap.
The problem is that to activate the gate I need a passkey which is consumed the moment you press jump, even if you dont actually jumped.
So now Im unable to progress as the key and the structure which dropped the passkey is gone.

I asked in game and I couldnt get an answer if its possible to cancel the agent mission and retake it. I remember that I read something that its not.
A helpful guy gave me the tip to wait for the daily server reset which will supposedly respawn the buildings and mission objectives.

Beside petitioning (which will take weeks to get an answer, from my experience) is there another way to get the passkey again or restart the mission?

Server reset should be enough in this case. You can legitimately file a "stuck" petition in this case as well and see a response sooner than that (usually in under an hour) if the reset doesn't do the trick.

Follow the nice guy's advice and wait for the server reset. If that doesn't work the correct Petition category is "Game Play - Agent missions in Progress." The longest I've ever had to wait for a reply in that category was 15 minutes.

This is only mission in that epic has passkey from structure I know Blink

Ok, wait for DT then check again after DT. If all four Asteroid Micro-Colony Minors are there, you're good. If not petition for reset.

When you do it again, destroy farther Asteroid Micro-Colony Minor then eliminate a spawn to get Shanty Town Gate Clearance (passkey). No need to destroy all colonies. Same way in next pocket Blink

Here is the update. After I logged in today (after server restart) the mission was back to "offered". I could retake and complete it.
No answer on my support ticket from yesterday, so Im not sure if its a default game mechanic or the help of the support team.

That means they reset the mission. You can start over from the beginning.

You can fly in manually with a speed fit t3 destroyer =) takes about 17 minutes ( if you can squeeze 9,884m/s with a 10mn mwd), take an alternate fit and a mobile depot. Not sure if a t3 destroyer can do the mission though =).

File a stuck petition like others have said.
