Sometimes when I try to run recover-this-file I get an error Invalid coding system: auto-save-coding which prevents the file from being recovered. I had to manually find the autosave file and copy contents. Strangely it doesn't happen to all of my recover-this-file attempts and I'm not sure what's the cause of it. Also I could recover files with UTF-8 characters so I don't think non-ASCII characters are really the cause either.

Turns out it has something to do with the plugin wakatime. Currently the workaround is to disable global-wakatime-mode when recovering a file and re-enable it afterwards. I've reported the issue but no reply yet.
