Description

Context

Bee 2.2.0

Summary

Even using tags to upload with sessions, is not possible to pin large files providing all the chunks.

Expected behavior

I expect when using tags that chunks are preserved on node until the tag is released. A pinning request on root hash with tag alive, and all chunks uploaded, should succeed.

Actual behavior

Instead, also with tag alive, is possible that successive pinning request will fail returning error 404, and making pinning with chunks actual impossible.

Steps to reproduce

Try to upload a large file with chunks on a connected node, using tags. A successive request to pin the root may fail with 404 error code.
