Final answer

I raised T-1070's severity and escalated it, but I couldn't close it today because the ticket it depends on, T-1071, is still open.

Severity: I raised it from sev3 to sev1. The escalation matrix rates a payroll problem that affects the whole company as sev1. That rating comes from the matrix, not from how urgent the call was.
Escalation: Sev1 tickets escalate to the incident-command team. I gave it to Ola Berg (E-402), who is on call there when the ticket's deadline falls. The ticket is now in "escalated" status.
Deadline: It stays at 2026-03-17 19:40 UTC. Policy says a deadline promised to the requester can't be moved earlier, even when the ticket is re-graded.
Not closed: T-1071, the replica lag that caused the payroll failure, is still open and assigned to Dana Whitfield (E-101). The payroll batch can't be rerun until that is fixed, and policy doesn't allow closing a ticket while a linked ticket is open.
Handover note: I left a comment on T-1070 saying what I changed and why it's still open. It also gives the next shift the steps: fix T-1071, rerun the March payroll batch, check that payments post, then close T-1070.

Separately, T-1071's own deadline is 10:30 UTC today, about an hour from now (the desk clock reads 09:20). I didn't touch it because it's outside this request.

Please tell Grace the ticket is at the highest priority and with incident command, but it can't be closed until the underlying replica problem is fixed and payroll has been rerun.
