Because the contract is a PDF in a folder and the support tool has no idea it exists. An agent facing an out-of-hours request either guesses or asks in a channel, and the answer varies by who replies.
The customer learns this quickly. Persistence becomes a support strategy, and the team resents it without being able to point at a rule.

Fourteen days, every module, no card. Or half an hour with someone who will run it on your own records and tell you where it does not help.
