Question
Does the account owner count towards the number of agents being paid for?
Answer
Yes, the account owner is a paid seat that is included in the total number of agents. Any user that is able to access the agent interface counts towards the total number of agent seats.

Dear Zendesk Support,
Has this issue been resolved in the meantime? We, too, are of the opinion that the owner of the account should not be counted towards the total agent limit as the account is only used for administration and not actual ticket resolving.

Hello @...,
I understand that this seems to be a less than optimal experience impacting you on an account level. I can indeed pass this along to our product team, but I would also recommend sharing this in our product feedback forums so our devs can consider how this is impacting you for future changes.
Best regards.

I would agree this is a less than optimal experience. As the business owner I manage the subscriptions and pay all the bills. But as a non-techie in a tech business, I'm paying for something that I don't use. In my instance we are an SME badly impacted by COVID, and this is effectively been a 100% premium on a product we've not really been using for the last 2 years as we've had to hibernate our business. It's now become a significant number in our run rate.

There's a thread in our product feedback forums on this, so I'd definitely recommend upvoting it and adding your use case here: Billing admin / Owner as light agent
That said Tim, in the meantime, since your business is in hibernation, perhaps there may be channels such as Talk or Chat that you're paying for that you could let got until you're able to return to normal business?
