Root Cause Analysis
This incident was caused by a deployed change to our Seats validation logic, which was not working as expected for accounts where Support Agents were at max capacity. Talk roles incorrectly required an additional Support seat even though the agent already occupied a Support seat.
Resolution
The change was reverted in production to correct the issue.
Remediation Items
Teams are investigating new methods for quality and assurance testing to ensure all account and product states are accounted for before a change is deployed to production.
