So I opened one of the region chests before knowing that the Gift of Appreciation quest would require you to open all 9 of them. Now, because I opened one before the quest started, the progression is bugged and now I am missing a chest but cannot open it.
Just a warning, and hopefully Bungie can fix this!

I opened one before I got the mission and it still counted, fwiw. 🤷♂️
