Does Automation Reset Without Status Change?

Does an automation reset if a ticket is updated without a status change?

No, an automation based on ticket status does not reset if a ticket is updated without a status change. The calculation continues from the moment the status was first submitted, even if the ticket is updated but the status remains the same.

This means that if you have an automation condition like "Hours since pending," it will keep counting from when the status was initially set to pending, regardless of any updates to the ticket that don't involve a status change. For more details, you can check out the originalZendesk article.
