This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.
If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.
Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened.
Notes: Utility, Container
A D&D beyond character now can have bags, pouches, backpacks, bags of holding, etc. as separate tabs where items can be divvied up so that each container has it's own contents.
It still doesn't reduce the weight of the items contained within it in the Beyond character sheet, so I customize my Bag of Holding's weight to be "15 - total content weight". It works well enough. It just requires that I micromanage the accounting.
Why is this uncommon but the handy haversack is rare?

Rules do clarify that you can turn it inside out to empty it, but as you said, this can be dangerous if you are unaware of what is inside it.
Handy haversack has more pockets I believe. It could also be based on size, room, or weight, but I haven't looked at the handy sack in a while.
having just looked at it, there was only one better thing i saw: less weight. Otherwise, it seems to have less room, but i guess it could fit bigger items.
64 cubic feet of water weighs way more than 500 pounds! I think you’d get 60 or so gallons.
Didn’t Matt Mercer create a home brew “Bag of Colding” for Vox Machina?
A bag of holding with ~60 gallons of water in it is not “full” volume-wise. It is at its weight limit, however. Therefore no additional weight can be accommodated, including any water breathing creatures. Besides which, I’d think a medium sized humanoid water breathing creature would need more than 60 gallons of water to “breathe” over the course of an hour.
can you put a bag of holding inside a sack or chest or something and then place that inside of another bag of holding?
If you have a bag of holding on your person and you jump into an open portable hole, what happens? does nothing happen because it is a regular hole until folded, or is a gate created?
Can PCs enter a bag of holding?
Y'all be happy with the latest dev update :)
The most common uncommon item.
That is a pretty recent addition so very nice for ye i guess
could a tortle stay in a bag of holding for one hour because it can hold its breath for that long?
Yep. Portable nukes are fun.
you could use this to dump 5 rowboats onto someone
