Thanks — I’m following up on your question about a participant joining a room without an agent and whether that affects the deployed agent’s resources or explains the 13% bot usage.
Short answer: No — a participant joining a room without an agent does not reserve or consume agent resources. Agents only use resources when they are actively instantiated (dispatched) into a session. The 13% bot usage reflects active agent sessions (time the agent was connected and doing work) — not idle rooms where no agent joined.
If you want, I can help you:
• Check where those agent sessions were started (automatic dispatch rules or API triggers).
• Review your dispatch settings to prevent unintended agent joins.
Which would you like me to do first?
