At 7pm this evening, I received a request to book on my phone. Since I was out, I decided to respond as soon as I got home. It's easier for me to respond using the desktop, rather than the phone app.
Checking the message again, a few minutes later, showed the countdown to expiration still continuing, but clicking on the request indicates "the guest withdrew their request to book". Anecdotally, this about the third booking-then-withdrawn in the last few days from folks who joined in July 2020.
Time stamp on the request says 12.00am, but it came in at 7pm. My email shows it coming in at 7pm.
My desktop seems to have no record of the request at all. It's not under "Inbox" or under "Cancelled Reservations".
Do the phone app and desktop not sync up ?
