We've been waiting for a resolution through the case ID# xxxxxxx without any relevant progress for a long period time...

Could this issue be resolved through this channel? If Y - Provide clear ETAs and expectations.
Else help me in prioritizing and escalating TrackingID#xxxxxxx ?

I was expecting this to be something quick... a quick win for support...someone to tick something (check /knob) somewhere... at tenant level.

Just would stress that we have not done any bulk invitations... although have done several tests with different accounts, delete and trying to automate the invitations, etc... nothing else.
