TL;DR: My Copilot Studio agent works flawlessly in the Test panel and in M365 Copilot, but in Teams 1:1 chat it's unreliable - it answers the first message, then goes silent on follow-ups (even a plain "Hi"). Intermittent, and seems per-user. I've tried everything I can find. Looking for anyone who's actually resolved this vs. just worked around it.

Setup

- Custom agent built in Copilot Studio (generative orchestration ON, default sonnet model).

- Knowledge/tools: Confluence via an MCP tool (getConfluencePage), grounded HR content.

- Auth: Authenticate with Microsoft.

- Published to Teams, admin-approved, installed as a personal app.

- Low volume (single-digit conversations/day — pilot stage).

The symptom

- First message in a fresh chat → responds fine (within ~30-60s).

- A few minutes later, follow-up messages → **no response at all.** Shows typing then stops.

- Happens even with trivial inputs like "Hi" / "Hello."

- In the Copilot Studio **Activity log**, the turn shows **"Completed"** — so the message reaches the agent, it just doesn't render a reply in Teams.

- **Works consistently in:** Copilot Studio Test panel. Teams 1:1 chat is flaky.

What I've already tried (no luck)

- ✅ Inactivity-reset topic ("user is inactive for a while" → Clear variable values and conversation hostory→ End conversation), set to 30 min.

- ✅ Verified all connections — not stale.

- ✅ `/debug clearstate` — clears fine, but next message still hits the "connect first" prompt or silence.

- ✅ Uninstalled + reinstalled the agent in Teams (I know ConversationStart doesn't re-trigger on reinstall, but tried anyway).

- ✅ Confirmed personal scope / installed as personal app.

- ✅ Checked there are no topic errors.

What I think is going on (but want confirmation)

This looks a lot like the intermittent "typing-then-no-response in Teams" issue several orgs reported starting ~Jan 2026 (including one with ~400 users), still seemingly unresolved by MS. Pattern matches: works on web/M365 Copilot, flaky only in Teams, inconsistent per-user.

We need to launch this agent today. Panicking on these last minute issues.

I’ve been considering buying a De’Longhi Dedica, and Latteholic’s open-box pricing caught my attention. Since they happened to be visiting my city, I met them in person and had a conversation about their open-box units. Thought I’d share what I learned in case it helps anyone else considering one.

What they told me:
• Open-box machines are typically customer returns or units that may have received minor cosmetic damage during import.
• They mentioned that the Dedica price increased from around ₹10k to ₹12k in the last couple of weeks due to currency fluctuations.
• They can arrange a video call and inspection of the specific unit before purchase.
• I brought up reports from a few users who received machines with broken water tanks. They said this can happen due to courier handling, but they would take responsibility for shipping-related damage.
• They recommended recording a proper unboxing video and said they would fully support claims related to transit damage.
• One thing that surprised me: they said they would accept returns if there were issues. However, I recall reading somewhere that open-box products are generally non-returnable, so it might be worth getting clarification on this before purchasing.
• They said the machine comes with the standard 1-year warranty from the date of purchase, and since they’re De’Longhi representatives in India, they would handle warranty support.

I’m not affiliated with them in any way- just sharing information from a conversation I had.

For those who have bought an open-box Dedica (or any other open-box machine) from Latteholic:

- How was the condition of the machine when it arrived?
- Did you face any issues?
- If you needed support, how was the after-sales experience?
- Would you buy open-box from them again?

I’d appreciate hearing some real-world experiences before pulling the trigger.

Hi,

I've seen multiple people mentioning they bought their coffee machines as open box, what exactly does that mean? I explored latteholic and i see some good machines and much cheaper rates than retail. Is it safe and recommended to go for open box machines ?

Hey folks,

I’m 24M, born and brought up in old Bangalore, and I’ve been feeling like I’ve gotten a bit too comfortable living at home. I was a day scholar throughout college as well, so I never really got the hostel/live-away-from-home experience either.

I’m starting a new job soon, and the office is in Indiranagar. That got me thinking - maybe this is a good opportunity to try living independently for a while and see how it goes.

A few things about me:

- I definitely do not want a PG.
- I’m okay with sharing a 2BHK/3BHK flat with roommates.
- I’ve never really learned cooking properly because I’ve always felt some dishes take way too much effort for the payoff. But maybe living alone will force me to figure that out, that’s if i don’t get a cook!
- My family says I’m a picky eater, so maybe this experience will also teach me to just eat what’s available and manage on my own.

The problem is: I have absolutely no idea how people go about finding flats, flatmates, understanding rent agreements, deposits, etc.

I was initially thinking of trying this out for maybe 4–6 months just to experience it, but then I found out most rental agreements are for 11 months 🥲

So I wanted to ask:

- How do people usually search for flats/flatmates in Bangalore?
- Which areas near Indiranagar would make sense for someone moving out for the first time?
- Roughly how much should I expect to spend monthly if I’m sharing a flat?
- Any hidden costs/things people don’t think about initially?
- Is trying this for just a few months even practical?

Hi Everyone,

I’m from GSC, Bangalore.

We usually get a quarterly bonus which is paid 2 months after the end of the quarter. Q4 ends may and let’s say i finish may during my notice period but before the actual payout month ( july ), will i still be paid my bonus ?
