Receiving incorrect presence results on subscription

R_R@spring 25

I have a presence subscription setup where my endpoint gets notified when the Teams user presence changes.

I observe that at times, the Teams presence update receives incorrect status.

Let's say my Teams user is Available, my endpoint receives a set of updates with user status as 'Available' and then I receive an update for 'Away' or 'Busy' and then again it switches back to 'Available'.

I constantly keep observing such inconsistencies (even though the user is logged in to only 1 device at that time).

Requesting help for this issue.

Could you please make sure you have required permissions set such as Presence.Read or Presence.Read.All ?

The behavior could be due to multiple presence sessions because the user can be on multiple Teams clients (desktop, mobile, and web). However, you mentioned that the user is logged in to only one device at that time.

In this case, it's important to note that a presence session may time out and expire, causing the presence status to change. For example, if an application sets the presence session as Available/Available, the state would change to Available/AvailableInactive in 5 minutes with the first timeout, then Away/Away in another 5 minutes with the second timeout.

Yes, all the required Presence permissions (delegated) have been granted.

My observation in the mentioned issue is not in 5 min. It has all been noted in a matter of few seconds. Even though the user is Available, the status may fluctuate between Available, Away or Busy (I haven't observed a consistent pattern though).

Could you please provide the request id and time stamp of failure/inconsistency, so that we can investigate further? Please do share the network trace and tenant id as well.

Sharing the logs again along with the network trace.

The network trace can be downloaded from https://www.file.io/WLVh/download/56coTaZvVO8z

Let me know if you need any additional details. We can also have a live debug session if that can speed up the process.

Thanks!
