    Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

      Kind of surprised they admit they're going to try restarting and see what happens. I'm sure it happens everywhere but nobody admits it.

      > We've attempted a rolling restart on one of the impacted instances to see if that resolves the issue.

      At least it didn't fix the problem so they can actually start finding the real cause.

      > We're no longer pursuing restarts as a path to remediation.

      Why isn't the AI they sell telling them what's wrong? Why do they need to take shots in the dark to "see if that resolves the issue"?

        I don't know, that reads exactly like an AI troubleshooter working through a plan without the implicit contextual understanding an experienced human might bring to either the actions or the communications.

        "Oops, we forgot to tell it that this is the hyperscaled Salesforce production environment and that its choices need to project competence and consider brand embarrassment. WILLFIX"
