Incident

User presence is unexpectedly changing

Issue Summary:

From 4:00 PM PDT on October 31, 2023 to 2:00 PM PDT on November 9, 2023, user presence would unexpectedly change to away or inactive.

We determined that an error during a routine system optimization on connectivity state caused this issue.

We reverted the change which fixed the issue for all affected customers.

Thank you for your patience while we resolved this.
