Agents in queue "In Used" when not in a call

We have a couple Queues in our Freepbx 16 (Asterisk 18.9-cert7) and I notice that some agents show “In Use” with the queue show command when they are not on the phone (either in our out of the queue). Here is an example:

8001 has 0 calls (max unlimited) in ‘rrmemory’ strategy (8s holdtime, 190s talktime), W:0, C:18, A:1, SL:94.4%, SL2:94.7% within 60s

No Callers

Here are some of the hints:

388@ext-local : PJSIP/388&Custom:DND State:Idle Presence:not_set Watchers 3
137@ext-local : PJSIP/137&Custom:DND State:Idle Presence:not_set Watchers 3
349@ext-local : PJSIP/349&Custom:DND State:Idle Presence:not_set Watchers 2

I did a “core show channels” to make sure they were not in a call. Hints say they are Idle. Why is the agent shown as In Use? This affects the Wallboard as it shows the agent as not available to receive a call. Is this a bug?

The CLI dialplan show command should tell us how FreePBX has defined the hint. If that references the correct, underlying, endpoint, the problem lies with Asterisk and you either need to request support under the support contract that is the reason for using a certified version, or upgrade to Asterisk 18.22.0, so that you can get community support.
