What it shows

  • Pending Customer freezes SLA timers to protect agent performance metrics.
  • Escalated routes tickets directly to senior engineering with elevated priority.
  • Resolved automatically transitions to Closed after 48 hours of silence.

The takeaway

Well-defined ticket states keep customer SLAs accurate and prevent unsolved bugs from vanishing.
