Symptom
Issue 1 — Emails still arriving after configuration was turned off (4-Sep)
Root cause: The reminder/escalation stop only applies to new exceptions created after the config was disabled. Exceptions generated before 4-Sep will continue to trigger reminders and escalations until they are resolved.
Example: Invoice 2026-0000000123 had an exception task created on 28-Aug — while the config was still active — so emails will keep coming for it until the exception is closed.
Issue 2 — Emails arriving too frequently (within 5 minutes of each other)
Root cause: Both warningPeriod and escalationPeriod are set to 1 day, causing the reminder and escalation emails for the same exception task (invoice 2026-00000000456) to fire on the same day, minutes apart.
Fix: If reminders and escalations should arrive on different days, update the durations in Manage Processing Services:
- Increase
warningPeriodandescalationPeriodto different values (e.g.,1and2)
